Research on Chrysomelidae, Volume 1
There are an estimated 40,000 species of chrysomelids, or leaf beetles, worldwide. These biologically interesting and often colorful organisms, such as the tortoise beetles, have a broad range of life histories and fascinating adaptations. For example, there are chrysomelids with shortened wings (brachypterous) and elytra (brachelytrous), other species are viviparous, and yet other leaf beetles have complicated anti predator-parasitoid defenses. Some species, such as corn rootworms (several species in the genus Diabrotica) constitute major agricultural crop pests. Research on Chrysomelidae 1 is a the first of an intended series of volumes on the Chrysomelidae edited by Jolivet, Santiago-Blay, and Schmitt.
Sauvons la biodiversité !
Engageons-nous maintenant ! - Perte des insectes pollinisateurs. - Épuisement des stocks de poissons marins. - 500 000 à 1 million de renards tués chaque année en France. - Les grands singes seront bientôt plus nombreux dans des zoos que dans les forêts... Pourquoi ce mélange de compassion ponctuelle et d’inaction quotidienne ? Prenons-nous vraiment la mesure du déclin de la biodiversité ? C’est pour répondre à ces questions qu’Hélène Soubelet et Jean-François Silvain nous proposent 10 actions majeures pour prendre conscience de la richesse des espèces autour de nous et les préserver.
Handbook of Climate Change and Biodiversity
This book comprehensively describes essential research and projects on climate change and biodiversity. Moreover, it includes contributions on how to promote the climate agenda and biodiversity conservation at the local level. Climate change as a whole and global warming in particular are known to have a negative impact on biodiversity in three main ways. Firstly, increases in temperatures are detrimental to a number of organisms, especially those in sensitive habitats such as coral reefs and rainforests. Secondly, the pressures posed by a changing climate may lead to sets of responses in areas as varied as phenology, range and physiology of living organisms, often leading to changes in thei...

Climate Change on Mountains
The world is warming up rapidly and this change is most noticeable in mountains with already observable consequences on flora and fauna. This book presents concepts, methodologies and major achievements of recent research in climate change ecology in mountains by placing this research in a historical perspective, that of travelers and naturalists of the Romantic era, and first of all Alexander von Humboldt. There is now a renewed interest, both in academia and beyond, in Humboldt, his writings and his view of nature. But how can we actually make use of his writings? How can we put his philosophy into practice? How can we still learn from past scientific figures and do a better science today?...
