Rotifera VII
Author: J. Ejsmont-KarabinPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400915837
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
The Proceedings of the Seventh International Rotifer Symposium, Rotifera VII, spans subjects from community ecology through biochemistry, from the most basic science through the most clearly applied technology. Some papers report exceptional progress in our knowledge of rotifer anatomy and biochemistry, as well as rotifer molecular biology, evolution and life histories. The book also contains an interesting article describing a hundred years of Polish contributions to rotiferology as well as papers discussing both general patterns of rotifer biogeography and rotifer distribution in different habitats, together with many aspects of the ecology of rotifer species, populations and communities. Audience: This update on rotifer taxonomy, biology and ecology will be of great interest to zoologists, especially hydrobiologists studying the structure and function of freshwater zooplankton.

Book Description
This book details recent advances in the applications of nanobiofertilizers as a substitute for synthetic fertilizers in boosting food production. With the steady rise of the world’s population, there is a need to increase the production of safe and nutritious food. The constant loss of arable land, as a result of various anthropogenic activities from human action, has become a threat to global biodiversity and ecosystems. Additionally, the issue of climate change has imposed many obstacles to increasing agricultural productivity, especially from biotic and abiotic stressors and temperature-limited environments, such as in high altitudes or seasonally hot regions. Because of these factors, there is a need to adopt sustainable and modern technologies that can boost and improve the rate of food production. One of the cheapest means of enhancing sustainable food production is to explore natural and unlimited beneficial microorganisms, particularly those that can increase the level of soil fertility, improve crop production and health, improve tolerance to stress, support nutrient uptake and availability, and boost natural biodiversity. The synergetic effect of nanotechnology and beneficial microorganisms for the effective bio-fabrication of nanobiofertilizers, is a sustainable solution for producing pesticide-free food. This book provides a deep insight into microbial diversity, recent techniques used for the isolation, screening, and characterization of beneficial microorganisms with eco-friendly attributes, used for bioengineering of nanobiofertilizers, as well as the application of proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, and bioinformatics. The book also covers commercialization, patents, and the business and socio-economic aspects of nanobiofertilizers, as well as the role of policymakers, stakeholders, and government agencies in the translation of nanobioferilizer research into policy. Audience The book is a useful resource for a diverse audience, including industrialists, food industry professionals, agriculturists, agricultural microbiologists, plant pathologists, botanists, microbiologists, biotechnologists, nanotechnologists, microbial biotechnologists, farmers, policymakers, and extension workers.

Key Works to the Fauna and Flora of the British Isles and North-western Europe
Author: Reginald William SimsPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The principal works for the identification of all living organisms - animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and viruses - reported from the British I sles and north-western Europe are listed in this book. The new edition has been entirely rewritten by a team of specialists. It presents a succinct selection of the relevant recent and standard literature, for use when identifying the living organisms of north-western Europe and the adjacent shelf seas. Much of the value of the work lies in its application over a wide area, helping biologists to identify rare or new records of species commonly reported in other countries. Each reference is listed with the title appearing first and the author name(s) and date appearing last, making references to a particular topic easier to find. The book is arranged under the major groups, for faster identification of specimens. With the librarian's advisory work in mind, details are provided of general guides to the fauna and flora, and the faunal lists of marine biological stations. Biologists (professional and amateur) who need to identify any living organism found in north-western Europe, and taxonomists and ecologists in particular will find this book very useful.
