The Book of Shells: A Life-Size Guide to Identifying and Classifying Six Hundred Seashells
ISBN: 9780226315775 / Angielski / Twarda / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Who among us hasn t marveled at the diversity and beauty of shells? Or picked one up, held it to our ear, and then gazed in wonder at its shape and hue? Many a lifelong shell collector has cut teeth (and toes) on the beaches of the Jersey Shore, the Outer Banks, or the coasts of Sanibel Island. Some have even dived to the depths of the ocean. But most of us are not familiar with the biological origin of shells, their role in explaining evolutionary history, and the incredible variety of forms in which they come.

Sexuality in Fishes
ISBN: 9781578086856 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The unprecedented level of diversity recorded among the clones of self-fertilizing gynogenetic unisexuals and self-fertilizing simultaneous hermaphrodites challenges current ideas on the predominant role of recombination in promoting evolution of biological diversity. Though limited to a few species, the existence of self-fertilizing and cyclical sex changing hermaphrodites remains a puzzle to many geneticists and endocrinologists. Within a few days after the removal of a harem master or mistress, a successor changes sex and takes over the harem - the causes for the sex changing mechanism...

A Little Less Arctic: Top Predators in the World's Largest Northern Inland Sea, Hudson Bay
ISBN: 9789048191208 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Arctic Canada, Hudson Bay is a site of great exploration history, aboriginal culture, and a vast marine wilderness supporting large populations of marine mammals and birds. These include some of the most iconic Arctic animals like beluga, narwhal, bowhead whales, and polar bears. Due to the challenges of conducting field research in this region, some of the mysteries of where these animals move, and how they are able to survive in such seemingly inhospitable, ice-choked habitats are just now being unlocked. For example, are polar bears being replaced by killer whales? This new information...

Conservation of Pacific Sea Turtles
ISBN: 9780824834074 / Angielski / Twarda / 469 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Across the Pacific, populations of some species of sea turtles face extinction unless recent dramatic declines are reversed. The continuing decline of leatherbacks and loggerheads in particular illustrates the limitations of the current gradual and unilateral approach to conservation. Recovery requires instead a holistic solution that addresses all sources of mortality throughout the entire life history and habitat use of these transnational populations. Historically conservation efforts have focused on nesting sites to protect eggs and breeding females; mortality from coastal and...

The Ecology and Etiology of Newly Emerging Marine Diseases is a unique contribution to an entirely new field of scientific investigation. For the first time, material presented in this book identifies patterns and trends in the abundance and distribution of disease phenomena in the marine environment. These patterns have gone unrecognised and undetected in the past because the literature in this field is so widely scattered. The book is both interdisciplinary and synthetic. Studies in this book unequivocally link marine diseases to global climate change. The book changes our...

The two themes of the Fourth European Symposium on Marine Biology, which took place in Bangor, North Wales, in September 1969, were Larval Biology and Light in the Marine Environment. Originally published in 1971, this volume of edited proceedings from the symposium gives specialist information on the behaviour and structure of larvae of animals that attach themselves to rocks, pilings, ships' hulls, etc. The biology of these organisms is important, both in relation to ship fouling and to mariculture (farming of the sea). It is the larval stage that is vitally important because this is the...
