Morcegos
Os morcegos são mamíferos voadores envoltos em vários mitos, sendo o mais conhecido o vampirismo. Neste segundo volume, continuamos a tratar dos mitos e buscamos ir além, pois são animais que têm papéis importantes nos ecossistemas, tanto naturais, quanto urbanos. Os morcegos se alimentam de diferentes tipos de alimentos, como insetos, frutos, néctar, pequenos mamíferos, peixes e, em três espécies de um universo de mais de 1.470 espécies, sangue. A importância dos morcegos é a realização de serviços ecossistêmicos, conhecidos também como serviços ambientais ou da natureza e são associados à qualidade de vida e bem-estar das sociedades. Os serviços ecossistêmicos são ...
Bats (Chiroptera) as Vectors of Diseases and Parasites
This book gathers contributions by 16 international authors on the phenomenon “bats,” shedding some light on their morphology, the feeding behaviors (insects, fruits, blood) of different groups, their potential and confirmed transmissions of agents of diseases, their endo- and ectoparasites, as well as countless myths surrounding their lifestyle (e.g. vampirism, chupacabras, batman etc.). Bats have been known in different cultures for several thousand centuries, however their nocturnal activities have made them mysterious and led to many legends and myths, while proven facts remained scarce. Even today, our knowledge of bats remains limited compared to other groups in the animal kingdom....
Micromammals and Macroparasites
This book provides a comprehensive survey of the diversity and biology of metazoan parasites affecting small mammals, of their impact on host individuals and populations, and of the management implications of these parasites for conservation biology and human welfare. Designed for a broad, multidisciplinary audience, the book is an essential resource for researchers, students, and practitioners alike.
Phytoremediation of Environmental Pollutants
Phytoremediation aids to augment bioremediation as it uses broad range plants to remediate soil, sediment, surface water and ground water that have been contaminated with toxic metals, organic, pesticides and radionuclides. This book serves to disseminate detailed up to date knowledge regarding the various aspects of phytoremediation and plant-microbe interaction. The book highlights process and molecular mechanisms for industrial waste detoxification during phytoremediation in wetland plants, role of endophytic bacteria for phytoremediation of environmental pollutants, constructed wetland treatment system for treatment and recycling of hazardous wastewater, amongst other relevant topics. Ke...
Mammals of South America, Volume 2
The vast terrain between Panama and Tierra del Fuego contains some of the worlds richest mammalian fauna, but until now it has lacked a comprehensive systematic reference to the identification, distribution, and taxonomy of its mammals. The first such book of its kind, Mammals of South America both summarizes existing information and encourages further research of the mammals indigenous to the region. It includes identification keys and brief descriptions of each order, family, and genus. Species accounts include taxonomic descriptions, synonymies, keys to identification, distributions with maps and a gazetteer of marginal localities, lists of recognized subspecies, brief summaries of natural history information, and discussions of issues related to taxonomic interpretations.
The Precautionary Principle
Goklany argues that selective application of this principle distorts the policy debate.
A Primer of Ecology
A detailed exposition of the most common mathematical models in population and community ecology, covering exponential and logistic population growth, age-structured demography, metapopulation dynamics, competition, predation, and island biogeography. Intended to demystify ecological models and the math behind them by deriving the models from first principles. The primer may be used as a self-teaching tutorial, as a primary textbook, or as a supplemental text to a general ecology textbook. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
