The Painted Stork
The book will cover the entire range of the Painted Stork--beyond its stronghold in India and Sri Lanka to other countries--E Asia as well. For the sake of comparison, relevant information will be included about the other species of storks--both solitary as well as colonial, of Asia, as well as those in other parts of the world. Certainly plenty of references will be made about the work done on the American Wood Stork. Studies are underway in order to better understand the role of the monsoon rains on the nesting pattern of Painted Stork, besides attempting a review of the global status of the species. The former is likely to be of interest in augmenting our understanding about how global cl...

Lexikon der älteren germanischen Lehnwörter in den ostseefinnischen Sprachen, Band I
Die ostseefinnischen Sprachen enthalten viele alte, d.h. vor etwa 500 A.D. übernommene Wörter germanischer Herkunft. Die germanische Lehnwortschicht reicht teilweise bis in die Jahrhunderte vor unserer Zeitrechnung zurück. Im dreibändigen Werk werden fast 1400 Stichwörter behandelt. Die Autoren stellen nicht nur sichere Lehnwörter vor, sondern auch solche Wörter, die in der Forschungsliteratur zu Unrecht für germanische Lehnwörter gehalten worden sind oder deren germanische Herkunft zweifelhaft ist.

Predicting Species Occurrences
Predictions about where different species are, where they are not, and how they move across a landscape or respond to human activities -- if timber is harvested, for instance, or stream flow altered -- are important aspects of the work of wildlife biologists, land managers, and the agencies and policymakers that govern natural resources. Despite the increased use and importance of model predictions, these predictions are seldom tested and have unknown levels of accuracy.Predicting Species Occurrences addresses those concerns, highlighting for managers and researchers the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches, as well as the magnitude of the research required to improve or test predi...
