Ecophysiological Analysis of Vulnerability to Climate Warming in Ectotherms

Temperature plays a critical role in animal survival and climate warming is one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity in the future. It is already affecting species and communities with severe impacts and it is predicted that climate warming will cause species extinctions and distributional shifts in the coming decades. The impact of climate warming is expected to be particularly severe on ectothermic animals, including fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. Thus, assessing species’ responses to ongoing climate warming and determining what conservation actions should be taken are among the most significant and controversial challenges for ecologists. Identifying the most vulnerable spe...

New World Tarantulas

The Theraphosidae are the most famous and diverse mygalomorph spiders, and include some of the largest arachnids on earth. Their unique defense mechanisms, predatory tactics, reproductive strategies and ecological adaptations are displayed by a wide range of terrestrial, burrowing and arboreal species. These arachnids are familiar to the general public thanks to horror movies and a growing interest in tarantulas as pets; however, scientific information on the group is scattered throughout the literature and not easily available. This book reviews all major aspects of New World Theraphosid tarantulas and provides in-depth information on their evolution, taxonomy, behavior, physiology, ecology, reproduction, conservation and biogeography. As a comprehensive guide to the biology of tarantulas, it will appeal to researchers, students and terrarium hobbyists alike.

Spesies Apakah Itu? Menjawab Pertanyaan Pertama dari Penggemar Alam Sejati

  • Categories: Art

Buku ini dimaksudkan untuk membangkitkan semangat dan membantu mengungkapkan salah satu misteri pengetahuan alam terbesar yaitu keanekaragaman hayati Indonesia. Dengan kerja taksonomi, maka kita berperan menjadi detektif, yang bahkan menembus ruang dan waktu ke masa ratusan tahun silam, ketika suatu spesimen ditemukan kemudian diberi nama spesies yang unik. Saat ini para pihak semakin menyadari pentingnya pengetahuan yang bersumber dari berbagai sumber yang bersifat majemuk. Termasuk di antaranya adalah pengetahuan dari masyarakat, dan penggemar alam. Dengan demikian, buku ini mempromosikan tiga pendekatan penting, yaitu ilmu murni, sains warga atau ilmu khalayak (Vohland dkk 2021) dan pengetahuan tradisional atau kearifan lokal. Setiap orang dapat menjadi penemu. Dunia membutuhkan agar Indonesia mengembangkan kapasitas lebih banyak peneliti, pengamat, dan penemu spesies. Besar harapan, buku ini dapat membantu menguraikan sekat-sekat ilmu pengetahuan, agar lebih banyak warga, dan penduduk setempat dengan kearifan lokal dapat berlomba-lomba berkontribusi bagi ilmu pengetahuan keanekaragaman hayati dan konservasi di Indonesia.
