Examining the interaction of bottom-up and top-down forces, it presents a unique synthesis of trophic interactions within and across ecosystems.
Introduces readers to key case studies that illustrate how theory and data can be integrated to understand wildlife disease ecology.
These records are among the oldest surviving church records for Staten Island (Richmond), New York. They pertain to three separate churches: the Dutch Reformed Church of Port Richmond; the United Brethren, or Moravian, Congregation of Staten Island; and St. Andrews Protestant Episcopal Church. The Dutch Reformed records consist solely of baptisms from 1696 to 1772. The Moravian records comprise the largest collection in the volume. They consist of baptism records from 1749 to 1853, marriages from 1764 to 1863, and death and burial records from 1758 to 1828. The records of the Episcopal congregation of St. Andrews, features birth and baptismal entries from 1752 to 1795 and several hundred marriages from 1754 to 1808.
An insightful guide to understanding conflicts over the conservation of biodiversity and groundbreaking strategies to deal with them.
Discusses the benefits and risks, as well as the economic and socio-political realities, of rewilding as a novel conservation tool.
Since its development in 1949, radiocarbon dating has increasingly been used in prehistoric research in order to get a better grip on the chronology of sites, cultures and environmental changes. Refinement of the dating, sampling and calibration methods has continuously created new and challenging perspectives for absolute dating. In these proceedings the focus lies on the contribution of carbon-14 dates in current Mesolithic research in North-West Europe. Altogether 40 papers dealing with radiocarbon dates from 15 different countries are presented. Major themes are the typo-technological evolution of lithic and bone industries, changes in settlement patterns, burial practices, demography and subsistence, human impact on the Mesolithic environment and the neolithisation process. Some papers also deal with more methodological aspects of carbon-14 dating (e.g. calculation of various reservoir effects, the use of cumulative calibrated probability distributions), and related techniques (e.g. stable isotope analysis for palaeodiet reconstruction).
A comprehensive assessment of the effects of climate change on global grasslands and the mitigating role that ecologists can play.
