Book Description
Excerpt from Animal Life in Deserts: A Study of the Fauna in Relation to the Environment Circumstances over which I had no control induced me to study the conditions of life in Lower Mesopotamia and in North-West Persia for more than two years. I had previously seen desert life in spring-time during a short visit to Algeria, and more recently I have lived in Jerusalem, a city which is not indeed in the desert, but within easy reach of the deserts of Southern Palestine and of the lower end of the Jordan depression. I have endeavoured to summarize my own observations and to elucidate their meaning by comparison with what has been observed in other deserts. The desert is an environment unspoilt by the hand of man, so that one can more clearly observe the interaction of plant and animal upon each other, and the dependence of the living creatures upon climate and other physical conditions. This " œcological " study will, I hope, prove interesting to many who delight in natural history, but who have never had an opportunity to make themselves acquainted with the more formal aspects of Zoology.

Behavioural Adaptations of Desert Animals

Pages : 205
Book Description
After a brief survey of biotopic and vegetational features and an account of the main groups of desert animals, the most unusual patterns of the behaviour of the xerophilous fauna are examined. The importance of the thermohygric regulation and self-protective and locomotor mechanisms to the survival of arid-adapted animals is emphasized and various adaptations in the alimentary, reproductive and social spheres are analyzed. The clear and fluent treatment will awaken the interest of the reading public, from the amateur naturalists to research scientists.
