Snakes, Sunrises, and Shakespeare: How Evolution Shapes Our Loves and Fears
ISBN: 9780226271828 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Our breath catches and we jump in fear at the sight of a snake. We pause and marvel at the sublime beauty of a sunrise. These reactions are no accident; in fact, many of our human responses to nature are steeped in our deep evolutionary past--we fear snakes because of the danger of venom or constriction, and we welcome the assurances of the sunrise as the predatory dangers of the dark night disappear. Many of our aesthetic preferences--from the kinds of gardens we build to the foods we enjoy and the entertainment we seek--are the lingering result of natural selection. In this ambitious...

Some Adaptations of Marsh-Nesting Blackbirds
ISBN: 9780691082370 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The variety of social systems among the New World blackbirds (Family Icteridae) and the structural simplicity of their foraging environment provide excellent opportunities for testing theorics about the adaptive significance of their behavior. Here Gordon Orians presents the results of his many years of research on how blackbirds utilize their marsh environments during the breeding season. These results stem from information he gathered on three species during ten breeding seasons in the Pacific Northwest, on Red-winged blackbirds during two breeding seasons in Costa Rica, and on three...

Biodiversity and Ecosystem Processes in Tropical Forests
ISBN: 9783642797576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Although biologists have directed much attention to estimating the extent and causes of species losses, the consequences for ecosystem functioning have been little studied.
This book examines the impact of biodiversity on ecosystem processes in tropical forests - one of the most species-rich and at the same time most endangered ecosystems on earth. It covers the relationships between biodiversity and primary production, secondary production, biogeochemical cycles, soil processes, plant life forms, responses to disturbance, and resistance to invasion. The analyses focus on the key... Although biologists have directed much attention to estimating the extent and causes of species losses, the consequences for ecosystem functioning hav...
