This book is about phylogenetic diversity as an approach to reduce biodiversity losses in this period of mass extinction. Chapters in the first section deal with questions such as the way we value phylogenetic diversity among other criteria for biodiversity conservation; the choice of measures; the loss of phylogenetic diversity with extinction; the importance of organisms that are deeply branched in the tree of life, and the role of relict species. The second section is composed by contributions exploring methodological aspects, such as how to deal with abundance, sampling effort, or conflicting trees in analysis of phylogenetic diversity. The last section is devoted to applications, showing how phylogenetic diversity can be integrated in systematic conservation planning, in EDGE and HEDGE evaluations. This wide coverage makes the book a reference for academics, policy makers and stakeholders dealing with biodiversity conservation.
O livro investiga os chamados contratos coligados, que se verificam quando há uma pluralidade de negócios jurídicos válidos e aptos a produzir efeitos e uma conexão entre eles, mas, não necessariamente, celebrados entre as mesmas partes. Não obstante esses contratos representem um avanço do ponto de vista econômico, como não têm regulamentação legal, os conflitos que deles podem surgir não encontram respostas prontas no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, notadamente o questionamento sobre a possibilidade de responsabilização civil entre este tipo de contratantes e qual a sua extensão. Assim, o autor acredita que a sua análise deve considerar a sua existência enquanto sistema, levando à responsabilização de um contratante, a princípio terceiro, mas integrante da coligação contratual.
The 25 authors provide a much-needed synthesis of what is currently known about these relatives of spiders, focusing on basic conceptual issues in systematics and evolutionary ecology, making comparisons with other well-studied arachnid groups, such as spiders and scorpions. --from publisher description.
