Restoring Natural Capital
How can environmental degradation be stopped? How can it be reversed? And how can the damage already done be repaired? The authors of this volume argue that a two-pronged approach is needed: reducing demand for ecosystem goods and services and better management of them, coupled with an increase in supply through environmental restoration. Restoring Natural Capital brings together economists and ecologists, theoreticians, practitioners, policy makers, and scientists from the developed and developing worlds to consider the costs and benefits of repairing ecosystem goods and services in natural and socioecological systems. It examines the business and practice of restoring natural capital, and ...
Technologies in Biomedical and Life Sciences Education
This contributed volume focuses on understanding the educational strengths and weaknesses of mediated content (including media as a learning supplement), in comparison to traditional face-to-face learning. Each chapter includes research on, and a broad-brush summary of, approaches to combining life sciences education with educational technologies. The chapters are organized into four main sections, each of which focuses on a key question regarding the consequences of incorporating media into education. In this regard, the authors highlight how educational technology is both a bridge and barrier to student access and inclusivity. Further, they address the ongoing discussion as to whether stud...

Libro rojo de aves de Colombia
En los últimos años, se ha avanzado considerablemente en el conocimiento de la distribución de las especies de aves en Colombia; sin embargo, una muy buena parte de la información sobre la avifauna colombiana se encuentra dispersa en libros, artículos científicos, informes y literatura gris, observaciones personales no publicadas, así como en colecciones públicas y privadas. Estos registros, junto con las capas de información climática, fueron la base con la cual se desarrollaron los modelos de distribución de las especies en los cuales se apoya esta obra.
Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic History of Latin American Vegetation and Terrestrial Environments
This volume summarizes the history of Latin American vegetation from just prior to the asteroid impact at Chicxulub, Mexico, at the end of the Cretaceous period through the rapid-paced events of Holocene and Recent times, tracing highlights in the origin of lineages and plant communities that constitute a fundamental part of the tropical ecosystems of the New World. Emphasis is placed on the array of available methods and approaches, as well as on the need for incorporating ancillary information from the many relevant disciplines and for assessing the paleobiological results within the context of independent lines of inquiry--particularly important for understanding the vast and complex communities of Latin America.
