Principles of Soundscape Ecology
From a founding figure in the field, the definitive introduction to an exciting new science. What do the sounds of a chorus of tropical birds and frogs, a clap of thunder, and a cacophony of urban traffic have in common? They are all components of a soundscape, acoustic environments that have been identified by scientists as a combination of the biophony, geophony, and anthrophony, respectively, of all of Earth’s sound sources. As sound is a ubiquitous occurrence in nature, it is actively sensed by most animals and is an important way for them to understand how their environment is changing. For humans, environmental sound is a major factor in creating a psychological sense of place, and m...
Atlas de las aves nidificantes en la provincia de Alicante
Este atlas es el fruto de casi quince años de trabajo. Un grupo de más de cincuenta investigadores recorrieron la provincia para obtener la información cuantitativa necesaria para confeccionar una serie de mapas que muestran con detalle la distribución de las diferentes aves nidificantes. Los textos, redactados por otros tantos expertos, trazan un retrato del estado de sus poblaciones y proporcionan consejos prácticos para localizar las diferentes especies en el campo. La obra presenta un importante aparato gráfico con imágenes de más de treinta fotógrafos y los dibujos de LluÃs Sogorb, que ilustran una volumen que facilitará al amante de la naturaleza en general el disfrute de la observación de las casi 180 especies de aves que podemos encontrar nidificando en la provincia. El resultado es este libro que publica la Universidad de Alicante en coedición con el grupo local de Alicante de SEO-BirdLife.
Montnegre
RÃo, territorio y presencia humana han formado durante siglos una unidad inseparable e interdependiente, una simbiosis que convirtió Montnegre en una tierra plácida y próspera, a pesar de su aspecto desértico y de las circunstancias, a menudo desfavorables, que ha tenido que atravesar. La conquista cristiana repartió el territorio de Montnegre entre los reinos de Valencia y Murcia, sometido a fueros diferentes e incluso con distintas unidades de medida, y aún hoy se encuentra dividido entre diferentes términos municipales. Tras la construcción del pantano de Tibi (1594) para regar l’Horta d’Alacant se negó a los campesinos de Montnegre el derecho al agua del rÃo, lo que derivÃ...
Ecology of Mediterranean Evergreen Oak Forests
Used by humans since ancient times, evergreen oak forests still cover extensive mountain areas of the Mediterranean Basin. These broadleaved evergreen forests occupy a transitional zone between the cool-temperate deciduous forest biome and the drier Mediterranean pine forests and shrublands. Slow growing and casting a deep shade, the sclerophyllous holm oak (Quercus ilex) absolutely dominates the closed canopy of many Mediterranean evergreen oak forests. This is a synthesis of 20 years of research on the structure, function, and dynamics of holm oak forests in two intensively studied experimental areas in Spain. By combining observational measurements at the leaf, tree, plot, and catchment scales with field experiments and modelling, the authors explore how these forests cope with strong water limitation and repeated disturbances.

Coenzyme Q in Aging
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of research on the essential relationship of the coenzyme Q10 and the process of aging in living organisms. CoQ10 is an important factor in two main aspects of cell physiology: bioenergetics and antioxidant protection. While primary deficiency of CoQ10 is associated with severe and lethal disease, secondary deficiency can be associated with the progression of mitochondrial dysfunction linked to the lessening of biological activities during aging. The book is organized in four sections. The first offers an overview of the function of CoQ10, highlighting the two main functions of CoQ10 in cells: its essential role as electron transport chain member ...
