Global Change Ecology promotes the understanding of how globally important changes in the environment, disrupt all aspects of ecological systems. Especially, the environmental changes that are driven by human influences and natural processes (e.g., climate change, urbanization, biological invasion, and pollution), resulting in biodiversity loss and eco-evolutionary deleterious impacts at the scales of populations, communities, or ecosystems. Alternatively, the recognition of ecological responses can enhance their resilience and resistance to environmental disturbances in different ecological systems. For example, the implications of these environmental threats on biodiversity and ecosystems ...
The Phytoseiidae are among the best-known mite families, with more than 2,700 recorded species worldwide. Some of those phytoseiids are used as biocontrol agents to fight agricultural pests. But in order to study their potential, it has become urgent to first establish a reliable taxonomy of Phytoseiidae. This book presents a general review of the classification and external morphology of the family Phytoseiidae in Taiwan and neighboring islands. Between 2009 and 2019, more than 20,000 specimens were gathered over the course of 2,500 collections. This book focuses on 64 species belonging to three subfamilies and fourteen genera, among which are five novel species and eight newly-recorded spe...
사람들이 본능적으로 세상에서 가장 싫어하고 끔찍하게 반응하는 대상을 꼽으라면 무엇이 있을까? 바퀴벌레가 어지간해서는 쉽게 1위 자리를 내어주지 않을 것이다. 그런데 이 책의 저자는 모두가 그토록 혐오하는 바퀴벌레와 사랑에 빠지고 말았다. 이 책에는 어릴 때부터 자연관찰과 곤충 채집을 좋아하던 저자가 유일하게 싫어하던 곤충인 바퀴벌레와 사랑에 빠진 후, 새로운 종을 발견하고 논문을 발표해 학계의 인정을 받는 연구자가 되기까지의 이야기가 흥미롭게 펼쳐진다. 저자는 자신이 느낀 바퀴벌레의 매력과 놀라운...

This book introduces an innovative and high-efficiency technology for mechanical energy harvesting. The book covers the history and development of triboelectric nanogenerators, basic structures, working principles, performance characterization, and potential applications. It is divided into three parts: Part A illustrates the fundamental working modes of triboelectric nanogenerators with their prototype structures and theoretical analysis; Part B and Part C introduce two categories of applications, namely self-powered systems and self-powered active sensors. The book will be an ideal guide to scientists and engineers beginning to study triboelectric nanogenerators or wishing to deepen their knowledge of the field. Readers will be able to place the technical details about this technology in context, and acquire the necessary skills to reproduce the experimental setups for fabrication and measurement.
Terminology, conceptual overview, biogeography, modeling.
