La flora de las Orchidaceae de Costa de Marfil es relativamente bien conocida, gracias a los recientes trabajos de dos botánicos: Laurent Aké Assi (2002) y Francisco Pérez-Vera (2003). No obstante, la primera elaboración de la flora de orquídeas de Costa de Marfil fue preparada por Summerhayes (1968) dentro de su Flora Tropical de África occidental. Ahora, basada en el estudio de 2.212 especímenes de herbario, se presenta una síntesis de la flora de orquídeas de Costa de Marfil, en esta monografía se incluye claves para la determinación de géneros y especies: descripción morfológica, hábitat, distribución geográfica, representantes de los especímenes para cada una de las especies y subespecies. La mayoría de los taxones se ilustran con dibujos originales. En el presente trabajo, se presentan 234 especies y 66 géneros.
Understanding diversity patterns and the effect of global change on abundance, distribution patterns and species survival are of the most discussed topics in biodiversity research. Species are disappearing worldwide, mostly due to habitat loss, but other factors like climate change are likely to increase in importance during the 21st century. Thus, one of the most worrying issues is that we still do not know the optimal abiotic and biotic requirements for population persistence of many of the still existing species, which makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to make appropriate recommendations for their conservation in terms of proposing an effective management of their sites. Analysi...
21st Century Homestead: Beekeeping contains everything you need to stay up to date on beekeeping.
The first field guide to the orchids of Costa Rica and Panama, this book is lavishly illustrated with 240 stunning color photographs and 229 line drawings. It contains keys to all the orchid genera in the region and most of the orchid species. To enable nonbotanists to identify at least the genus of orchids, Robert L. Dressler emphasizes features that can be readily seen with the naked eye or a hand lens. Written in a friendly and accessible style, this guide begins with succinct descriptions of the geography, climate, and vegetation of Costa Rica and Panama, and includes appropriate comments on the peoples and cultures of the area. A discussion of orchid structure and ecology follows. The i...

In recent years the Internet has become a source of data and information of indisputable importance and has immensely gained in acceptance and popularity. The World Wide Web (WWW or Web, for short), frequently named “the nervous system of the infor- tion society,” offers numerous valuable services leaving no doubt about the signi?cance of the Web in our daily activities at work and at home. Consequently, we have a clear aspiration to meet the obvious need for effective use of its potential by making - provements in both the methods and the technology applied. Among the new research directions observable in Web-related applications, intelligent methods from within the broadly perceived to...
