This book considers three questions about understanding the past. How can we rethink human histories by including animals and plants? How can we overcome nationally territorialised narratives? And how can we balance academic history-writing and indigenous understandings of history? This is a tentative foray into the connections between these questions. Entangled Lives explore them for a large area that has seldom been explored in academic inquiry. The 'Eastern Himalayan Triangle' includes both uplands and lowlands. The region is the meeting point of three global biodiversity hotspots connecting India and China across Myanmar/Burma, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The 'Triangle' is treated as a multispecies site in which human histories have always been utterly intertwined with plant and animal histories. It foregrounds that history is co-created – it is always interspecies history – but that its contours are locally specific.
The City is an Ecosystem maps an interdisciplinary, community-engaged response to the great ecological crises of our time—climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequality—which pose particular challenges for cities, where more than half the world’s population currently live. Across more than twenty chapters, the three parts of the book cover historical and scientific perspectives on the city as an ecosystem; human rights to the city in relation to urban sustainability; and the city as a sustainability classroom at all educational levels inside and outside formal classroom spaces. It argues that such efforts must be interdisciplinary and widespread to ensure an informed public a...

广东南雄小流坑—青嶂山省级自然保护区位于广东省的东北部,与江西省交界,成立于2007年,主要保护对象是亚热带森林生态系统及珍稀动植物资源。2016—2017年,广东省生物资源应用研究所和广州大学的科研人员对保护区的动植物资源开展了调查。共记录野生维管植物187科663属1 323种,其中蕨类植物32科60属117种,裸子植物5科6属6种,被子植物150科597属1 200种;两栖类动物2目9科31种,爬行类动物2目16科75种;鸟类169种,隶属于16目、50科,其中,非雀形目15目、23科、73种,占总种数的43.2%,雀形目鸟类27科、96种,占总种数的56.8%;兽类5目11科27种。本书对开展南岭山脉物种多样性研究、对广东南雄小流坑—青嶂山省级自然保护区物种保护具有重要意义,可以作为科研工作者、生物多样性保护工作者、自然观察热心者参考书籍。
This authoritative handbook, part of the Helm Identification Guides series, looks in detail at the world's 170 species of robins and chats. This large family of small passerines was formerly considered to be part of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now usually treated as a separate family, Muscicapidae, together with the Old World flycatchers. The vast majority of species are Eurasian or African, with only a handful of species straying into the New World or Australasia. The Australian Robins, although superficially similar, have long been regarded as a separate family. Robins and chats are a diverse family comprising both highly colourful and visible species, such as the robin-chats of A...

本书收录了截至2020年我国记录的328种植绥螨,还有很多种类尚未被发现.全世界的植绥螨已从1951年记录的61种发展到2020年的2 700多种,其中很多种类具有非常重要的应用价值.众多分类学家提出了植绥螨的分类系统,其中de Moraes(2004a)和Chant等(2007)提出的分类系统是目前使用较多的植绥螨分类系统,两个系统间存在很多分歧.本书主要依据Chant等(2007)的分类系统,对中国植绥螨种类及世界上有利用价值的植绥螨种类的分类地位进行重新修订,建立比较完善的中文分类检索系统,以及综述国内外有重要经济价值的70种植绥螨的研究进展,为我国植绥螨资源的深入开发,应用提供指导.针对目前国内植绥螨应用较多的柑橘,苹果,茶叶等不同农作物,分别综述了植绥螨在其上的应用情况,包括成功应用的经验及存在的问题,可为深入研究植绥螨田间应用技术,扩大其应用作物范围提供新的思路.
THIS BOOK DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY LETTERS IN FOREIGN ALPHABET! ALL WORDS IN THIS BOOK WERE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH-TRANSLITERATION! Have you always wanted to learn how to speak a foreign language but simply didn't have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. You can hold in your hands one of the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in the twenty-seven most common languages. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining those twenty-seven most common languages in the world and distilling from them the three hundred and fifty words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These th...
China is home to an amazing diversity of birds, with nearly 1500 species recorded. However, little is known about the parasites associated with Chinese birds, which potentially number over 5000 species. Here, for the first time, the published data on ischnoceran chewing lice from China is summarized, to serve as a starting point for future louse studies. This includes: - Descriptions and illustrations of almost all the over 250 species of Ischnocera known from China, including species recorded from China for the first time - An extensive summary of louse morphology, ecology, and evolution - Identification key to the genera of Ischnocera known from and suspected to occur in China - A detailed instruction on how to collect, preserve, identify, and describe louse species from birds Together, we hope this book will both inspire new Chinese researchers to help fill the gap in our knowledge, and provide them with the necessary theoretical basis to make those aspirations a reality.
