A species identification guide to the 160 species of bat described in the Amazon region, including a morphological identification key with stunning photographs and an acoustic key for Amazonian bats illustrated with the echolocation spectrogram of most species.
Birds and mammals can give us clues about our own behavior, and studying them can answer interesting questions, such as why is the World green, and why are plants the biggest organisms on land, but animals the largest in the oceans? Nevertheless the most compelling reason to study them is because it is fun, which is possibly the main message in this book.
This information deck documents an exploratory causal identification process into the asymptomatic behaviour of Covid-19 infected individuals. Six factors impacting asymptomatic behaviour (age, immune strength, tonsils, diet, environment, and smoking) are reviewed along with an examination of documented anomalies. Please note: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (not accepted file format for Google upload) containing enhanced views of selected charts/diagrams depicted in this PDF file is available for viewing.

This Covid-19 information deck begins with an examination of bats. The most likely bat families to infect humans, bats with coronaviruses and SARS-like coronaviruses, and bat cross species transmission are discussed. We also take a look at the bat immune system, their diet, and the bacteria that inhabit bats. The geographic origin portion of the information deck examines the history and evolution of coronaviruses, WHO origin report analysis, Covid-19 viral match rate, and country comparisons of bats with SARS-like coronaviruses. The mammal origin portion of the information deck examines likely suspects, diet commonalities, energy expenditure, bacterial prevalence, key bacteria, and summation...
This is the first comprehensive listing of Amazon fruits from an ethnobotanical perspective. This detailed book covers 50 botanical families, 207 species, in the Amazon including how the people of each region use them. It is lavishly illustrated with high-quality photographs taken by the author, an extensive list of references, and Dr. Smith’s latest, meticulous research. This book should be a foundational work for scholars working in the plant sciences, researchers in ethnobotanical studies, and general interest scholars seeking more detailed information on the latest research by a leading scientist in the Amazon.
This book offers a panorama of recent scientific achievements produced through the framework of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere programme (LBA) and other research programmes in the Brazilian Amazon. The content is highly interdisciplinary, with an overarching aim to contribute to the understanding of the dynamic biophysical and societal/socio-economic structure and functioning of Amazonia as a regional entity and its regional and global climatic teleconnections. The target readership includes advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students and researchers seeking to untangle the gamut of interactions that the Amazon’s complex biophysical and social system represent.
Os objetivos deste livro são abordar, de forma prática, métodos de coleta e análise de dados da fauna e flora, aplicáveis para avaliação ambiental e monitoramento no âmbito da floresta estacional, e reunir indicações metodológicas que estão dispersas na literatura científica. Os métodos são discutidos a partir de informações de campo coletadas e analisadas por uma equipe formada por professores e estudantes, empenhados em dialogar com as necessidades dos profissionais de consultorias ambientais, de empresas e de técnicos de órgãos de Estado.
Each issue to contain material in each of seven subject fields: botany, forestry research, environmental sciences, phytochemistry, tropical medicine, zoology and technology.
