Aquatic Ecosystem: Biodiversity, Ecology and Conservation
Author: Mamta RawatPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 8132221788
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
This book brings together the latest information on the rapid advances and developments in the field of aquatic ecology. India is very rich in terms of biological diversity due to its wide range of habitats and climatic conditions. It is home to as much as 7 per cent of the world’s animal species, although it only accounts for about 2 per cent of the total landmass. The present work on biodiversity, ecology and conservation of aquatic resources represents original research in the field of aquatic biodiversity, wetland ecology and its applications with reference to the country’s aquatic resources. There are 19 chapters, each contributed by an expert in his/her particular field and offering novel approaches to various topics in the area of aquatic ecosystems.
Phenology and Seasonality Modeling
Author: H. LiethPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364251863X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
The pulse of life with the seasons is a classic theme of biology, equally cap turing every man's curiosity about early and late milestones of every year's cycle and the critical physiologist's inquiry into life's subtle signals and responses. Natural historians of ancient and renaissance time as well as today have charted the commonsense facts behind inspired traditions of poetry and practical rules for growing food and fiber. This volume brings together several ways of organizing the basic principles of phenology. These find order in the otherwise overwhelming mass of detail that captures our fleeting attention, like the daily newspaper, and then tends to fade into the overstuffed archives of history. Is this order so obvious and understandable that there is no longer any scien tific challenge to "phenology" as a tradition? Or does apparent simplicity mask a complex and ultimately baffling obstacle to the understanding of seasonality in even those few indicator plants and animals we know best, not to men tion the less known species or races making up the rest of each major land scape unit or ecosystem? Denying both these hasty opinions, we think that this volume well illustrates a range of questions and answers-from soundly established (but not trivial) doctrine to exciting inquiry about how ecosystems are organized.
Straminipilous Fungi
Author: M.W. DickPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401597332
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
Straminipilous Fungi presents a critical comparative review of the morphology and ultrastructure, morphogenesis, cytology, molecular biology and evolution of the biflagellate fungi. These organisms encompass the fungi formerly called oomycetes; taxonomically related heterotrophs studied by mycologists; plasmodiophorids and other heterotrophs. Appropriate comparisons are made with chromophyte algae, marine heterotrophs and chytridiaceous fungi. Little-known taxa which have been referred to the various orders of flagellate fungi are also listed together with citations. A new hierarchical classification is presented which is supported by systematic accounts and synoptic keys. Dichotomous keys based on habitat and habit are given to all known species of lagenidiaceous fungi, labyrinthulids and plasmodiophorids. A unique `one stop' reference resource for plant pathologists is provided by the binominal lists, including host-related lists for the downy mildews. The book, including ca 4000 references, is a major text for post-graduate and research workers, particularly freshwater and marine biologists, soil ecologists and plant pathologists.

Recent Advances in Aquatic Mycology
Author: Evan Benjamin Gareth JonesPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aquatic fungi
Languages : en
Pages : 774
Book Description
This text brings together up-to-date information on both freshwater and marine fungi. A wide spectrum of topics are discussed, such as the morphology, physiology and ecology of the fungi, as well as the role of fungi in pesticide breakdown. For convenience the book is divided into two sections. The first section deals with the marine fungi and the second with fresh water fungi. This is a text suitable for undergraduates and graduates mycology, marine biology, ecology, physiology, oceanography, microbiology, biochemistry and zoology. It will also be useful to those interested in pathology, for river boards and all concerned with pollution.
