Freshwater Crayfish
Author: Tadashi KawaiPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1466586400
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 666
Book Description
For their great commercial importance as a human food delicacy, crayfish are now becoming of wider interest to molecular biologists, and also to conservationists due to the fact that in some countries many of the native crayfish species are under threat from human activity, disease, and competition from other introduced crayfish species.

A Global Overview of the Conservation of Freshwater Decapod Crustaceans
Author: Tadashi KawaiPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319425277
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
This book introduces updated information on conservation issues, providing an overview of what is needed to advance the global conservation of freshwater decapods such as freshwater crabs, crayfish, and shrimps. Biodiversity loss in general is highest in organisms that depend on intact freshwater habitats, because freshwater ecosystems worldwide are suffering intense threats from multiple sources. Our understanding of the number and location of threatened species of decapods, and of the nature of their extinction threats has improved greatly in recent years, and has enabled the development of species conservation strategies. This volume focuses on saving threatened species from extinction, and emphasizes the importance of the successful implementation of conservation action plans through cooperation between scientists, conservationists, educators, funding agencies, policy makers, and conservation agencies.

Hybrid Zones and the Evolutionary Process
Author: Richard Gerald HarrisonPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 019506917X
Category : Evolution (Biology)
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Hybrid zones--geographical areas in which the hybrids of two races are found--have attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists for many years, both because they are windows on the evolutionary process and because the patterns of animals and plant variation seen in hybrid zones do notfit the traditional classification schemes of taxonomists. Hybrid zones provide insights into the nature of the species, the way barriers to gene exchange function, the genetic basis of those barriers, the dynamics of the speciation process. Hybrid Zones and the Evolutionary Process synthesizes theextensive research literature in this field and points to new directions in research. It will be read with interest by evolutionary biologists, geneticists, and biogeographers.

Crayfish in Europe as Alien Species
Author: Francesca GherardiPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351457519
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
From the third international workshop on the subject (U. of Florence, 1997), come 18 papers reviewing the issue of alien crayfish decimating the relatively few native species in European freshwater environments. In a historical and taxonomic context, the initial paper explains why such homogenizatio

Book Description
Networks of Invasion: Networks of Invasion: Empirical Evidence and Case Studies, Volume 57 bridges a conceptual gap between ecological network studies and invasion biology studies. This book contains chapters detailing pressing concerns regarding invasive species in food webs, but also extends the idea of networks of invasion to other systems, such as mutualistic networks or even the human microbiome. Chapters describe the tools, models and empirical methods adapted for tackling invasions in ecological networks, including sections on parasites and biological invasions, invasions in freshwater systems, and those in host-associated microbiome networks. In addition, the book provides interesting discussions on the importance of microorganisms and their relationship to macroorganisms. - Contains chapters detailing pressing concerns regarding invasive species in food webs - Describes the tools, models and empirical methods adapted for tackling invasions in ecological networks - Deals with topical and important reviews on the physiology, populations and communities of plants and animals
