Download or read book Samoan Land Snails and Slugs - An Identification Guide written by Robert Cowie and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of the Samoan archipelago lie about 14 degrees south of the equator in the central Pacific Ocean. Politically, they are divided into two groups: Samoa (formerly Western Samoa), an indepedent state and American Samoa, a territory of the USA. The islands have been formed as a result of complex volcanic activity; they are geologically young. While many of the plants and birds of the Samoan Islands are found elsewhere in the Pacific, many of the snail species are found nowhere else on Earth. This guide is intended to permit identification of mos of the terrestrial snails, and slugs of the Samoan Islands. It is intended to be accessible to the amateur naturalist but also to provide the experienced scientist with a compact resource of information. The guide covers both the native species and the non-native, introduced species, which are generall more frequently encountered, especially at low elevations and in habits disturbed by human activities.

Book excerpt: Extending from Roanoke to Mount Oglethorpe and bounded by the Appalachian Mountains, the Southern Highlands is one of the most diverse natural areas in North America. From beautiful flora like the Fraser magnolia to rare ecosystems such as the mountain cedar glades, the area has been an inspiration for writers and naturalists since it was first explored by William Bartram in 1775. Investigate the biology of the cloudless sulphur butterfly, whose erratic flight is used to confuse its prey. Discover the botany of the white ash tree, said to produce the most satisfying crack of a baseball bat. Essayist, poet and naturalist George Ellison explores the abundant wonders of the Southern Highlands in a series of humorous, scientific and literary essays vividly illustrated by artist Elizabeth Ellison.

Download or read book The Mollusks written by Charles F. Sturm and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mollusks have been important to humans since our earliest days. Initially, when humans were primarily interested in what they could eat or use, mollusks were important as food, ornaments, and materials for tools. Over the centuries, as human knowledge branched out and individuals started to study the world around them, mollusks were important subjects for learning how things worked. In this volume, the editors and contributors have brought together a broad range of topics within the field of malacology. It is our expectation that these topics will be of interest and use to amateur and professional malacologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT The present study gives status of physic-chemical parameters of Lotus Lake, located on Toranmal Plateau at 21° 53’ 20’’ N latitude, 74° 28’ 01’’ E longitude and 3201 Ft., above MSL. Lotus Lake is a shallow perennial water body. Physico-chemical parameters were studied for two years (December 2006 to November 2008). The yearly data is divided into four seasons. The statistical analysis Mean, SEM, One way ANOVA and Pearson Correlation is carried out. Present study supports that physico-chemical properties of freshwater body are characteristics of the climatic, geochemical, geomorphological and pollution conditions prevailing in the drainage basin and the underlying aquifer. Significant seasonal variations in physico-chemical parameters were recorded at this fresh water wetland.

Book excerpt: "A long-overdue and much-needed identification manual for the tree snails of Florida, one of the most exquisite creatures in the natural realm."--Fred G. Thompson, Florida Museum of Natural History "This new book will introduce the novice and expert alike to a wealth of new and fascinating information on one of the most colorful and variable animal species in the world. Anyone interested in the natural history of South Florida and the Florida Keys will want to have a copy of this well-illustrated and most comprehensive work."--Thomas C. Emmel, University of Florida Some of the most beautiful and vivid shells in the world are found not on the beaches but in the trees of South Florida. This colorfully illustrated book offers for the first time a comprehensive survey of these rare snails and their shells, as well as their biology, natural history, evolution, and ecology. Shells of the Liguus fasciatus tree snails display a stunning rainbow of colors, from pink, powder blue, and deep orange to chestnut and black, in patterns ranging from subtle to complex. Fifty-nine named color forms exist, and there are distinct variations within many of the forms. The author identifies all the various forms and their localities in this book. Color photographs of some 300 brilliantly hued shells illustrate the text. The migration and interbreeding of the Liguus fasciatus, including the many varieties that appear in only one defined habitat such as Matecumbe Key or Key Vaca, are described. This remarkable compilation of available information on these snails contains abundant reference material for scientists, but it is written in an informal style that will appeal to shell aficionados and amateur naturalists alike. Enthusiasts also will be interested to learn that the shells can be seen on walks through the forests of Everglades National Park and the hammocks of the Pinecrest area, and even from the road in several places in the Keys. Henry T. Close is director of the Milton H. Erickson Institute in Atlanta. He is the author of Metaphor in Psychotherapy (1999) and a lifetime collector and student of Liguus snails.
