Proceedings
This international symposium featured three interconnected thematic foci of interdisciplinary research. They focussed on the changes in the extent and intensity of agricultural and forest land use in tropical forest margins and their implications for rural development and for conservation of natural resources such as biodiversity, soils and water. The symposium took place in Goettingen. Almost 130 international authors have contributed a short abstract and their adress.
Ekologi dan Lingkungan
Buku ini menghadirkan sebuah tinjauan menyeluruh tentang konsep ekologi dan pentingnya menjaga lingkungan bagi keberlangsungan hidup manusia. Penulisnya menguraikan dengan jelas tentang bagaimana semua elemen di alam saling terkait dan berinteraksi dalam sebuah ekosistem yang kompleks. Mulai konsep dasar ekologi lingkungan, ekosistem, biotik dan abiotic, Rantai makanan dan jaring makanan, asas lingkungan hidup, lingkungan hidup sosial dan lingkungan hidup buatan, energi dan kehidupan, populasi dan komunitas, etika lingkungan, ekokritik, etno-ekologi, dan adaptasi ekologi dan sosial budaya. Dengan gaya penulisan yang mudah dipahami, buku ini tidak hanya membahas teori-teori ekologi secara men...
Pengantar Ilmu Biologi
"Buku Pengantar Ilmu Biologi" adalah panduan komprehensif yang menyajikan konsep-konsep dasar dalam ilmu biologi secara sistematis dan mendalam. Dari pemahaman tentang struktur dan fungsi sel-sel kecil hingga dinamika kompleks ekosistem, buku ini membawa pembaca dalam perjalanan mendalam tentang kehidupan. Pembaca akan diajak untuk menjelajahi berbagai tingkatan organisasi kehidupan, mulai dari molekul-molekul biologis yang terkecil hingga interaksi antara organisme dalam lingkungan mereka. Konsepkonsep seperti evolusi, genetika, metabolisme, dan ekologi akan dijelaskan dengan jelas dan ilustratif, memungkinkan pembaca untuk memahami kompleksitas dan keanekaragaman dunia hayati. Buku ini tidak hanya memberikan pemahaman teoritis, tetapi juga mengaitkan konsep-konsep biologi dengan aplikasi praktis dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan bidang-bidang seperti kesehatan, pertanian, dan konservasi lingkungan. Dengan demikian, buku ini tidak hanya menjadi sumber pengetahuan yang kaya, tetapi juga panduan yang relevan bagi siapa pun yang ingin memahami dan menghargai keajaiban dunia alam dan pentingnya ilmu biologi dalam memecahkan tantangantantangan masa kini dan masa depan
Plant Diversity in Biocultural Landscapes
The edited book highlights comprehensive studies on plant diversity dynamics, ecosystem processes, and best conservation practices from the interdisciplinary perspectives such as the botanists, ecologists, conservation biologists, geneticists, cell biologists, molecular biotechnologists, and social scientists. The main focus of the book is to address biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse amidst the escalating climate change problems, aggravated by anthropogenic activities in biocultural landscapes. The book describes the biocultural landscape of today, ecology of plant diversity, botany of keystone and other rare species of economic and pharmaceutical significance, ecosystem processes, co...
One hundred and one new species of Trigonopterus weevils from New Guinea
Trigonopterus is a little known genus of weevils, containing hundreds of species, the majority of them without a scientific name. To describe this huge diversity using traditional approaches would take more than a lifetime, but there is no time to waste! Forests disappear for the sake of ever expanding agricultural landscapes, and good arguments are needed in the battle for the conservation of each hectare of primary forest. A species discovery and description pipeline is outlined to accelerate and improve taxonomy. It combines concise expert descriptions with DNA sequencing, digital imaging, and automated wiki species page creation from the journal. The concise descriptions providing a valid name can be gradually updated or modified in the fully versioned wiki-framework. A database of DNA sequences with an identification engine efficiently replaces an identification key, helps to avoid synonyms and has the potential to detect grossly incorrect generic placements. One hundred and one new species of Trigonopterus are described to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, which increases not only speed, but also sustainability of global species inventories.
Systematics and Phylogeny of Weevils
This Special Issue on the Systematics and Phylogeny of Weevils presents 31 new research papers on one of the most diverse and successful groups of animals on Earth, the beetle superfamily Curculionoidea. It was in part inspired to commemorate the extraordinary life and scientific achievements of Guillermo (“Willy”) Kuschel (1918–2017), who shaped this field of science over the last century like no other weevil systematist. The papers in this memorial issue span weevil faunas from all over the globe, including South and Central America, Africa, Europe and the Near East, South-East Asia, New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand. They include major advances on the phylogeny and classificatio...
An Introduction to Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics
The analysis of DNA sequences contributes to evolutionary biology at all levels, from dating the origin of the biological kingdoms to untangling family relationships. This introductory text presents the fundamental concepts and intellectual tools needed to understand how the genome records information about the evolutionary past and processes, how that information can be 'read', and what kinds of questions we can use that information to answer. Starting with evolutionary principles, and illustrated throughout with biological examples, it offers an ideal starting point on the journey to an understanding of the way molecular data is used in modern biology
