Invasive Species: What Everyone Needs to Know(r)
ISBN: 9780199922031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Of the 7,000 estimated non-native species present in North America, approximately 1,000 are invasive. Clearly, invasive species are in the minority, but their small numbers don't keep them from causing billions of dollars in economic and ecological harm each year. Policymakers and ecologists continue to try to figure out which species might be harmful, which invasive species are doing the most damage, and which of these might respond best to eradication efforts. Invasive species reports and case studies are prevalent in political, environmental, and scientific news cycles, and a significant...

The Art of Being a Parasite
ISBN: 9780226114385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Parasites are a masterful work of evolutionary art. The tiny mite "Histiostoma laboratorium," a parasite of" Drosophila," launches itself, in an incredible display of evolutionary engineering, like a surface-to-air missile at a fruit fly far above its head. Gravid mussels such as "Lampsilis ventricosa "undulate excitedly as they release their parasitic larval offspring, conning greedy predators in search of a tasty meal into hosting the parasite.
"The Art of Being a Parasite" is an extensive collection of these and other wonderful and weird stories that illuminate the ecology and... Parasites are a masterful work of evolutionary art. The tiny mite "Histiostoma laboratorium," a parasite of" Drosophila," launches itself, in an incre...

Integrating Biological Control Into Conservation Practice
ISBN: 9781118392591 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Invasive species have a critical and growing effect upon natural areas. They can modify, degrade, or destroy wildland ecosystem structure and function, and reduce native biodiversity. Landscape-level solutions are needed to address these problems. Conservation biologists seek to limit such damage and restore ecosystems using a variety of approaches. One such approach is biological control: the deliberate importation and establishment of specialized natural enemies, which can address invasive species problems and which should be considered as a possible component of restoration. Biological... Invasive species have a critical and growing effect upon natural areas. They can modify, degrade, or destroy wildland ecosystem structure and funct... |

Killer Algae
ISBN: 9780226519234 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Two decades ago, a Stuttgart zoo imported a lush, bright green seaweed for its aquarium. "Caulerpa taxifolia" was captively bred by the zoo and exposed, for years, to chemicals and ultraviolet light. Eventually a sample of it found its way to the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, then headed by Jacques Cousteau. Fifteen years ago, while cleaning its tanks, that museum dumped the pretty green plant into the Mediterranean.
This supposedly benign little plant that no one thought could survive the waters of the Mediterranean has now become a pernicious force. "Caulerpa taxifolia" now covers...

Ecological Communities: Conceptual Issues and the Evidence
ISBN: 9780691640518 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 630 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This work is the first to focus systematically on a much-debated topic: the conceptual issues of community ecology, including the nature of evidence in ecology, the role of experiments, attempts to disprove hypotheses, and the value of negative evidence in the discipline. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting...
