Enhancing Or Restoring the Productivity of Natural Populations of Shellfish and Other Marine Invertebrate Resources
Ownership and co-management issues, and the necessary decisional rules for successful management are discussed, as well as how to reconcile the enhancement programme with other uses of the coastline.
Studies of Changes in the Populations of Invertebrates Associated with Cyclical Process in Heathland
During its life cycle the Calluna vulgaris L. plant passes through four phases related to its age and physiognomy. These are the pioneer, building, mature and degenerate phases. Within each phase, the Calluna plant provides possible habitats for invertebrates within the Calluna-derived litter, on the surface of this litter and in the canopy of the Calluna plant; many invertebrates are also found in the atmosphere above the plant canopy. The invertebrate fauna occurring within the litter includes mites, springtails, false scorpions, harvestmen, spiders, beetles, millipedes, Hemiptera, flies and Hymenoptera. The most numerous and frequently occurring of these are the mites, being almost equall...
Invertebrate Populations of the Deciduous Forest
The major objectives of the present study are to analyze (a) the composition and relative population sizes of the larger invertebrate fauna of relatively undisturbed, near-virgin, stands of deciduous forest, (b) how the population size of each taxon fluctuates throughout the year, (c) how populations vary from year to year, and (d) how these fluctuations correlate with weather conditions. An attempt is made to show the relative importance of different weather variables and to provide equations for predicting population size when prevailing weather conditions are known.
Global Climate Change and Terrestrial Invertebrates
Invertebrates perform such vital roles in global ecosystems—and so strongly influence human wellbeing—that biologist E.O. Wilson was prompted to describe them as “little things that run the world.” As they are such powerful shapers of the world around us, their response to global climate change is also pivotal in meeting myriad challenges looming on the horizon—everything from food security and biodiversity to human disease control. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the latest scientific knowledge and contemporary theory relating to global climate change and terrestrial invertebrates. Featuring contributions from top international experts, this book explores how change...
Ecology of Invertebrate Diseases
A rapidly growing interdisciplinary field, disease ecology merges key ideas from ecology, medicine, genetics, immunology, and epidemiology to study how hosts and pathogens interact in populations, communities, and entire ecosystems. Bringing together contributions from leading international experts on the ecology of diseases among invertebrate species, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the field. Beginning with an introductory overview of general principles and methodologies, the book continues with in-depth discussions of a range of critical issues concerning invertebrate disease epidemiology, molecular biology, vectors, and pathogens. Topics covered in d...
