Biogeography

Author: T. PullaiahPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100090704X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 652
Book Description
Biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate due to anthropogenic activities around the world. This book is the first volume in the new series Biodiversity Hotspots of the World, which highlights the 36 hotspot regions of the world, regions that were designated as reaping maximum benefit from preservation efforts. This series is our humble attempt to document these hotspots as a conservation and preservation measure. This first volume in the series focuses on the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka, construed as forming a community of species because of their shared biogeographical history. The volume explores the diversity and conservation efforts of the extraordinarily rich species found here, including plants, many of which are found nowhere else in the world; forests, which face tremendous population pressure and have been dramatically impacted by demands for timber and agricultural land; as well as the hotspot’s diverse mammals, birds, insects, and amphibian species, and more. The volumes in this series will be essential resources for researchers and practitioners in the fields of conservation biology, ecology, and evolution.

The Natural History and Behavior of North American Beewolves
Author: Howard E. EvansPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 150174576X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Beewolves are a major group of solitary, ground-nesting wasps belonging to the genus Philanthus of the family Sphecidae. (The common name beewolf derives from the females' practice of preying upon bees to obtain food for their young.) This book brings together information on the biology of more than two-thirds of the 34 North American species, including much previously unpublished data, it is the first book on these wasps to provide extensive material on the behavior of both males and females.
