An Atlas of the World's Conifers: An Analysis of Their Distribution, Biogeography, Diversity and Conservation Status
ISBN: 9789004211803 / Angielski / Twarda / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A 2014 Choice Magazine "Outstanding Academic Title" An Atlas of the World's Conifers is the first ever atlas of all known conifer species. It is based on locality information of ca. 37,000 collected herbarium specimens held in scientific institutions. As well as providing natural distribution maps for each species, Farjon and Filer give the reader comprehensive insight into the biogeography, diversity and conservation status of conifers on all continents, dispelling the widely held view that they are primarily a northern boreal plant group. Conifer diversity is analysed and presented...

Invertebrate Paleontology (Mesozoic) of Israel and Adjacent Countries with Emphasis on the Brachiopoda
ISBN: 9781618113054 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book consists of a series of papers that help to unravel the taxonomy of the phylum Brachiopoda and describe associated marine communities in the Levant. These faunas inhabited shallow shelf environments near the boundary of the Indo-African and Tethyan faunal realms near the Jurassic equator along the southern Tethyan margin. This research is part of a long-term project that aims to delineate the distribution of brachiopods across faunal realm boundaries and reconstruct the biogeographic history of the region. The work provides a more detailed analysis of the endemism that is...

Non-native Species and Their Role in the Environment: The Need for a Broader Perspective
ISBN: 9789004172661 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The young field of invasion biology - initially a branch of ecology and conservation biology - has greatly expanded, particularly in the last two and a half decades or so. As a result, the potential negative effects of introduced species have been widely advertised and sometimes, perhaps, overemphasized. This book attempts to restore some balance to the current debate over the role of non-native species, by offering a broader perspective, and taking a longer term, evolutionary look at these species and their impact in their new environments. The relatively arbitrary nature of terms such as...

Insects: Evolutionary Success, Unrivaled Diversity, and World Domination
ISBN: 9781421421704 / Angielski / Twarda / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Too often, David B. Rivers argues, entomology is taught using a dry taxonomic approach that the average biology major finds both dull and painful. Students should, Rivers believes, become fascinated with insects by the end of a course that examines more than 75% of all animal diversity on Earth--around two quintillion individual insects. With refreshing energy, Insects tells the gripping story of how and why this six-legged life form has been so remarkably successful--and is poised to take over the world. Designed as an introduction to the intriguing world of insect biology,... Too often, David B.

ISBN: 9780231185721 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall explain how science has been misused to sustain belief in the biological basis of racial classification. Troublesome Science draws on the tools of taxonomy to show that while the diversity that exists within our species is a real phenomenon, it nevertheless defeats any attempt to recognize discrete units within it.

Sensory Transduction
ISBN: 9780198835035 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How are sights and sounds and smells converted into electrical signals in a form that can be interpreted by the nervous system? Although this process, called sensory transduction, began to be understood only relatively recently, so much progress has been made that it is now possible to say at least in outline (but in most cases in remarkable detail) how transduction occurs for all of the major sense organs of the body. Since the first edition was published in 2003, many new experiments have radically changed some of our previously-held views.This new edition fulfils the book's original aims,...
