Ross Sea Ecology
The Antarctic represents the last of the world's still unexplored continents. Since 1985, Italy has sent 10 expeditions to this region, three of those have been exclusively devoted to research on the marine ecology of the Ross Sea region. This volume presents a global picture of this research. It includes contributions on water mass characteristics, particulate organic matter and nutrient utilization, and physiological aspects of primary production. Further topics are zooplankton, krill and top predator interactions in relation to physical and biological parameters, ecological features of coastal fish communities and the spatio-temporal variability of benthic biocenoses.
Mediterranean Ecosystems
This volume reflects the present state of the study of the Mediterranean as carried out by the Italian scientific community. The multidisciplinary character of the papers creates different "transversal" reading and clustering possibilities that the informed reader is free to design and undertake autonomously.
Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean: Meeting the Challenge for Conserving Earth Ecosystems in the Long Term
National and international agencies need assessments of change in ecosystems and their drivers in order to sustain natural systems, to maintain the delivery of services, and to meet the challenge for conserving Earth ecosystems in the long term. In marine systems, change may arise directly from human activities (e.g. fisheries), indirectly from local or global activities (cascading effects through food webs from fisheries or changing environments from climate change and/or ocean acidification), or from naturally varying processes. A particular challenge for managers is to identify how dangerous future climate change will be for ecosystems and their services and whether mitigation or adaptati...

Sedentariate and Archiannelid Polychaetes of British Columbia and Washington
This bulletin presents the principal external diagnostic characteristics of the sedentariate & archiannelid polychaetes of British Columbia & Washington in a tabulated scheme. Keys to all the genera from the continental shelves of the cold- temperate North Pacific Ocean are provided under the relevant family. Species keys identify the species known from British Columbia & Washington and an additional 19 species which may be expected to occur there. A checklist of the 273 species known from landward of the 200-metre isobath indicates those species for which the authors have seen local specimens. Diagnostic characters are presented in the specific & generic keys in a series of alternative choices. Supplemental characters from certain species are added to preclude accidental misidentification of species not yet recorded from British Columbia & Washington but known from elsewhere in the cold-temperate North Pacific. Brief instructions for specimen collection, fixation, identification, and use of the key are also provided, along with a glossary & an index to the scientific names.
