Book excerpt: O livro retrata a disseminação de espécies exóticas no Brasil, fenômeno considerado efeito da globalização, com implicações sociais, econômicas e ambientais. O mexilhão dourado é um molusco bivalve, originário da Ásia, com poder de destruição de ambientes sem predador para a espécie. A invasão de espécies exóticas é considerada uma das piores causas da destruição de ecossistemas e, consequentemente, afligem a quantidade e a qualidade de empregos, a produção e o custo da energia, a produção de alimentos e a quantidade e qualidade da água. Esses reflexos alertam para o risco de catástrofes ambientais e, desta forma, sociais e econômicas. "No evento Rio+20, que contou com a participação de lideranças de todos os Continente, foram distribuídos 10 mil exemplares do livro, em português e inglês, com o patrocínio da Eletrobras, a holding das hidrelétricas brasileiras". O livro busca a sensibilização de todos sobre a importância da prevenção contra espécies exóticas, inclusive no mar, afirmou Dorinha Aguiar. Segundo ela, o mexilhão dourado é apenas um exemplo de destruição por invasão de espécies exóticas, podendo se tornar um direcionador na construção de políticas internacionais em defesa da biodiversidade. Ela afirma que a solução preliminar internacional de troca de água de lastro em alto mar é uma orientação ainda sem comprovação de sua eficácia. "Por isso, é tão importante debater essa questão e propor alternativas, pois a troca de água de lastro em alto mar traz riscos sobre outras espécies nativas marinhas. A destruição provocada por invasores só não é pior que a devastação do ambiente por assoreamento, seca, canalização de rios ou, em terra, pelas queimadas e desmatamentos", concluiu. No Brasil, o mexilhão dourado foi descoberto na Bacia do Rio da Prata, fronteira com a Argentina, na década de 90 e, desde então, tem preocupado o continente Sul Americano, pois vem se alastrando pelas regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste do Brasil, alcançando as maiores hidrelétricas brasileiras.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity and its conservation are among the main global topics in science and politics and perhaps the major challenge for the present and coming generations. This book written by international experts from different disciplines comprises general chapters on diversity and its measurement, human impacts on biodiversity hotspots on a global scale, human diversity itself and various geographic regions exhibiting high levels of diversity. The areas covered range from genetics and taxonomy to evolutionary biology, biogeography and the social sciences. In addition to the classic hotspots in the tropics, the book also highlights various other ecosystems harbouring unique species communities including coral reefs and the Southern Ocean. The approach taken considers, but is not limited to, the original hotspot definition sensu stricto and presents a chapter introducing the 35th hotspot, the forests of East Australia. While, due to a bias in data availability, the majority of contributions on particular taxa deal with vertebrates and plants, some also deal with the less-studied invertebrates. This book will be essential reading for anyone involved with biodiversity, particularly researchers and practitioners in the fields of conservation biology, ecology and evolution.

Book excerpt: This book summarizes all currently available information on the ecology, environmental impacts and control methods of the golden mussel in industrial plants. The golden mussel was introduced in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South America between 1965 and 1990, swiftly spreading in freshwater waterbodies. In most areas invaded it has become the dominant macroinverebrate and a major fouling pest of industrial plants. Limnoperna fortunei attaches to any hard surface, as well as to some less firm substrates. The growth of Limnoperna populations in raw cooling water conduits became a common nuisance in many industrial and power plants that use raw river or lake water for their processes, both in South America and in Asia. This work is written by experts on the golden mussel from Asia, Europe, North America and South America, each chapter critically reviews previously available information, which is in sources of limited distribution, such as internal reports and theses, in various languages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did we become the linguistic, cultured, and hugely successful apes that we are? Our closest relatives--the other mentally complex and socially skilled primates--offer tantalizing clues. In Tree of Origin nine of the world's top primate experts read these clues and compose the most extensive picture to date of what the behavior of monkeys and apes can tell us about our own evolution as a species. It has been nearly fifteen years since a single volume addressed the issue of human evolution from a primate perspective, and in that time we have witnessed explosive growth in research on the subject. Tree of Origin gives us the latest news about bonobos, the make love not war apes who behave so dramatically unlike chimpanzees. We learn about the tool traditions and social customs that set each ape community apart. We see how DNA analysis is revolutionizing our understanding of paternity, intergroup migration, and reproductive success. And we confront intriguing discoveries about primate hunting behavior, politics, cognition, diet, and the evolution of language and intelligence that challenge claims of human uniqueness in new and subtle ways. Tree of Origin provides the clearest glimpse yet of the apelike ancestor who left the forest and began the long journey toward modern humanity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primate Behavioral Ecology, described as “an engaging, cutting-edge exposition,” incorporates exciting new discoveries and the most up-to-date approaches in its introduction to the field and its applications of behavioral ecology to primate conservation. This unique, comprehensive, single-authored text integrates the basics of evolutionary, ecological, and demographic perspectives with contemporary noninvasive molecular and hormonal techniques to understand how different primates behave and the significance of these insights for primate conservation. Examples are drawn from the “classic” primate field studies and more recent studies on previously neglected species from across the primate order, illustrating the vast behavioral variation that we now know exists and the gaps in our knowledge that future studies will fill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents an important meeting ground in the primatology field by exploring the various primate models that have been used in the reconstruction of early human behavior. While some models are based on the proposition that a key behavioral feature such as hunting, eating of seeds or monogamous mating led to the evolutionary separation of apes and humans, other models suggest that one primate species, such as the baboon or chimpanzee, best exemplifies the behavior of our early ancestors. Several contributors to the book take the position that no single primate is a good model and contend instead that a model must be eclectic. One of the more innovative essays suggests that ancestral behavioral states can, in fact, be derived by comparing the behavior of all living hominid (ape and human) species. Additionally, several other contributors analyze and discuss the concept of model-making, noting deficiencies in earlier models while offering suggestions for future development. Although it is true that a powerful conceptual model for reconstructing hominid behavior does not yet exist, The Evolution of Human Behavior: Primate Models suggests ways one may be constructed based on behavioral ecology and evolutionary theory.
