Book Synopsis Diversidade da vida by : Edward O. Wilson
Download or read book Diversidade da vida written by Edward O. Wilson and published by Editora Companhia das Letras. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O papa da biodiversidade traça um abrangente e apaixonado painel da alarmante situação da ecologia no mundo de hoje, propondo soluções. Reconhecido no mundo todo como o papa da biodiversidade, Wilson analisa aqui os processos adaptativos responsáveis pela criação de novas espécies e descreve os cataclismos que interromperam a evolução e empobreceram a diversidade nos últimos seiscentos milhões de anos. Os cinco primeiros desastres ecológicos (tais como meteoritos e mudanças climáticas) custaram à evolução entre dez e cem milhões de anos de reparação. Já o sexto grande espasmo de extinção na Terra, desta vez inteiramente causado pelo homem, pode não ter conserto. Wilson aponta fortes indícios de que o planeta caminha para um grave e talvez irreversível processo de degradação ambiental: declínio da população de pássaros nos Estados Unidos, extinção de espécies de peixes de água doce na África e na Ásia, drástica redução de flora e fauna nas regiões tropicais desmatadas. As saídas que o autor propõe são complexas, à altura do problema, mas factíveis, e passam por conciliar produção, lucro e proteção ambiental. Desafiadoras, elas permitem que a consciência ecológica e as práticas sociais alcancem novo patamar, tanto nos estudos quanto nas atitudes individuais e políticas de preservação do meio ambiente.

Book Synopsis Biodiversity and Ecosystem Processes in Tropical Forests by : Gordon H. Orians
Download or read book Biodiversity and Ecosystem Processes in Tropical Forests written by Gordon H. Orians and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although biologists have directed much attention to estimating the extent and causes of species losses, the consequences for ecosystem functioning have been little studied. This book examines the impact of biodiversity on ecosystem processes in tropical forests - one of the most species-rich and at the same time most endangered ecosystems on earth. It covers the relationships between biodiversity and primary production, secondary production, biogeochemical cycles, soil processes, plant life forms, responses to disturbance, and resistance to invasion. The analyses focus on the key ecological interfaces where the loss of keystone species is most likely to influence the rate and stability of ecosystem processes.
Book Synopsis Neotropical Insect Galls by : Geraldo Wilson Fernandes
Download or read book Neotropical Insect Galls written by Geraldo Wilson Fernandes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book brings to light the most recent findings on the biogeography, biodiversity, host plant induction and natural history of gall inducing insects in the Neotropical region. We attempt to summarize the work done so far in the region, promote several syntheses on many aspects such as host induction, host specialization, distribution among the several vegetation types and zones, the origin of super hosts and the mechanisms leading to geographical patterns in their distribution. Furthermore, the book constructs new perspectives for deeper understanding of galling insect evolutionary ecology and biogeopgraphy in the region.

Book Synopsis Tropical Montane Cloud Forests by : Lawrence S. Hamilton
Download or read book Tropical Montane Cloud Forests written by Lawrence S. Hamilton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until relatively recently the valuable tropical montane cloud forests (hereaf ter usually referred to as TMCFs) of the world had scarcely come under the assaults experienced by the downslope montane and lowland forests. TMCFs are not hospitable environments for human occupation, and their remoteness (except in places near Andean high mountain settlements and in the Ethiopian Highlands) and difficult terrain have given them de facto protection. The ad jacent upper montane rain forests have indeed been under assault for timber, fuelwood, and for conversion to grazing and agriculture for many decades, even centuries in the Andes, but true cloud forest has only come under ex ploitation as these lower elevational resources have disappeared. They have also been "nibbled" at from above where there have been alpine grasslands under grazing pressure. Increasingly now, however, these cloud forest eco systems are being fragmented, reduced, and disturbed at an alarming rate. It is now becoming recognized that steps must be taken rapidly to increase our understanding of TMCF and to achieve their conservation, because: their water-capture function is extremely important to society; • their species endemism is high; they serve as refugia for endangered species being marginalized in these environments by increasingly transformed lower elevation ecosystems; they are relatively little studied; yet, their value to science is extremely high; they have low resilience to disturbance; vii viii Preface and many other reasons, which will be discussed subsequently in this publi cation.
Book Synopsis Biodiversity Hotspots by : Frank E. Zachos
Download or read book Biodiversity Hotspots written by Frank E. Zachos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 550 pages. 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.
