The Larvae of Indo-Pacific Coastal Fishes
The second volume in the Fauna Malesiana book series gives an extensive overview of the larval development of 124 families of fishes, many of them of importance for both fishery and from ecological perspectives. The families that are described originate from the center of global marine biodiversity: the tropical Indo-Pacific Oceans, a region rich in coral reefs, as well as mangrove, estuarine, and coastal shelf habitats. The identification guide not only documents the ontogeny of these fishes but also provides the means to identify these extraordinarily diverse larvae to the level of family. The book offers a wealth of instructive and detailed figures and illustrations (219 plates, each consisting of approximately 4 figures) for enabling the identification of these families and their larval specialization.
Threadfins of the World (family Polynemidae)
This volume on the family Polynemidae includes 41 species belonging to 8 genera. There is an introductory section with general remarks on habitat and fisheries of the family, a glossary of technical terms, an illustrated key to each genus and all species, and a detailed account for all species. Species accounts include an illustration of each species, scientific and vernacular names, and information on habitat, biology, fisheries, size, relevant literature and distribution. Following the species accounts are a list of nominal species in the family, a table of species by major marine fishing areas, and color plates.

I suoni segreti della natura
Il mondo naturale è ricco di conversazioni, molte delle quali fuori dell’intervallo di udibilità dell’orecchio umano. Oggi però gli scienziati utilizzano strumenti digitali all’avanguardia per scoprire questi suoni incredibili, che rivelano l’esistenza di fitte comunicazioni fra creature della stessa specie e di specie diverse – animali, piante, microrganismi, persino sistemi geologici. La tecnologia spesso ci distrae dalla natura, ma se invece potesse essere la chiave per riconnetterci a essa? Come in un romanzo, Karen Bakker ci conduce in un susseguirsi di storie affascinanti e sorprendenti sui suoni prodotti dalle specie viventi non umane e su come vengono percepiti; linguagg...
