Bird Migration Across the Himalayas: Wetland Functioning Amidst Mountains and Glaciers
ISBN: 9781107114715 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 458 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Birds migrating across the Himalayan region fly over the highest peaks in the world, facing immense physiological and climatic challenges. The authors show the different strategies used by birds to cope with these challenges. Many wetland avian species are seen in the high-altitude lakes of the Himalayas and the adjoining Tibetan Plateau, such as Bar-Headed Geese. Ringing programmes have generated information about origins and destinations, and this book is the first to present information on the bird's exact migratory paths. Capitalising on knowledge generated through satellite telemetry,...

Resource Ecology: Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Foraging
ISBN: 9781402068485 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book focuses on resource ecology, which we defined as the ecology of trophic interactions between consumers and their resources . In our endeavour to shape the discipline of resource ecology further, we invited some world-class scientists to think with us. We thus organised a symposium where we made sure that we paid attention to the original Greek meaning of the word: we discussed, ate and drank together and, for health reasons, made sure that we hade enough time for strolling and bicycling along the banks of the River Rhine. We even climbed a beautiful mediaeval church tower dedicated...

Invasion Biology and Ecological Theory: Insights from a Continent in Transformation
ISBN: 9781107035812 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many conservationists argue that invasive species form one of the most important threats to ecosystems the world over, often spreading quickly through their new environments and jeopardising the conservation of native species. As such, it is important that reliable predictions can be made regarding the effects of new species on particular habitats. This book provides a critical appraisal of ecosystem theory using case studies of biological invasions in Australasia. Each chapter is built around a set of eleven central hypotheses from community ecology, which were mainly developed in North...

The Ecology of Browsing and Grazing
ISBN: 9783540724216 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Extensive grazing and browsing by domestic and wild herbivores shape the vegetation composition, structure and dynamics of many terrestrial ecosystems. This volume investigates how large herbivores not only influence the structure and distribution of the vegetation, but also affect nutrient flows and the responses of associated fauna. The mechanisms and processes underlying the herbivores' behaviour, distribution, movement and direct impact on the vegetation, and the dynamics of nutrients, plant species, and vegetation composition in terrestrial ecosystems are discussed in detail. It is... Extensive grazing and browsing by domestic and wild herbivores shape the vegetation composition, structure and dynamics of many terrestrial ecosyst... |

Food Production and Nature Conservation: Conflicts and Solutions
ISBN: 9781138859395 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Feeding the world's growing human population is increasingly challenging, especially as more people adopt a western diet and lifestyle. Doing so without causing damage to nature poses an even greater challenge. This book argues that in order to create a sustainable food supply whilst conserving nature, agriculture and nature must be reconnected and approached together. The authors demonstrate that while the links between nature and food production have, to some extent, already been recognized, until now the focus has been to protect one from the impacts of the other. Instead, it is... Feeding the world's growing human population is increasingly challenging, especially as more people adopt a western diet and lifestyle. Doing so wi... |

The Equids: A Suite of Splendid Species
ISBN: 9783031271434 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The narrative of the progression of the ‘horse family’ through geological time, from dog-sized fruit-eating animals with four toes on their front and three toes on their hind legs, to the valiant long-legged, single-toed modern grazing horses, beloved by racing enthusiasts, is the poster child of evolution. However, like the rhinos or tapirs, the horse-like zebras, wild asses, kulans, kiangs, onagers, and the real horses are often portrayed as being past their evolutionary peak as compared to the more recently evolved ruminants (especially bovids and deer) which now dominate the grazing...

Wildlife Conservation by Sustainable Use
ISBN: 9780412797309 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. One of the major challenges of sustainable development is the interdisciplinary nature of the issues involved. To this end, a team of conservation biologists, hunters, tourist operators, ranchers, wildlife and land managers, ecologists, veterinarians and economists was convened to discuss whether wildlife outside protected areas in Africa can be conserved in the face of agricultural expansion and human population growth. They reached the unequivocal - if controversial - conclusion that wildlife can be an economic asset, especially in the African savannas, if this wildlife can be sustainably...
