This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, sandy beaches support local economies and are the most commonly-used type of coastline by people (Davis & FitzGerald, 2004; Schlacher et al., 2007), with beaches serving as popular attractions in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) for visitors from around the world. However, high urbanization causes the degradation of coastal resources. Ghost crabs, Ocypode, display predicable responses to anthropogenic impacts, and are popular ecological indicator reflecting the level of ecological stress present in sandy beaches (Barros, 2001; Costa et al., 2019; Costa & Zalmon, 2019; Gül & Griffen, 2019; Peterson et al., 2000). Although St. Thomas, USVI is a popular tourist destination, there are no beach studies in the USVI identifying beach types or the impact of high urbanization from tourism through the use of ghost crabs, to-date. This study characterizes beach types using multiple indices (Beach Index, Beach Deposit Index, Log(1/Beach Slope), and Relative Tide Range) based on physical parameters (beach slope, grain size, and wave height) for eight beaches (Stumpy Bay, Santa Maria Bay, Caret Bay, Neltjeberg Bay, Lindberg Bay, Magens Bay, Coki Point Beach, and Sapphire Beach) on St. Thomas to establish a baseline for beach types on the island. Surveys were conducted during high tourist season from February 3 - March 19, 2020 and low- tourist season from May 18 - June 25, 2020 during early morning hours. Site values for Beach Index, Beach Deposit Index, and Log (1/Beach Slope) were compared using Kruskal- Wallis Rank Sum tests and Dunn Post Hoc tests, and results indicated that all beaches were wave dominated reflective, with slight variations detected best by Log (1/Beach Slope). Additionally, urbanization effects were assessed using a modified Urbanization Index using six different variables (buildings on sand, solid waste, visitor frequency, distance to urban center, beach cleaning, and vehicle traffic) to calculate specific urbanization levels across study sites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in land crabs has burgeoned as biologists have increasingly focused on the evolution of terrestriality. Before the publication of this volume in 1988, there had been no single comprehensive source of information to serve biologists interested in the diverse aspects of terrestrial decapod crustacean. Biology of the Land Crabs was the first synthesis of recent and long-established findings on brachyuran and anomuran crustaceans that have evolved varying degrees of adaptation for life on land. Chapters by leading researchers take a coordinated evolutionary and comparative approach to systematics and evolution, ecology, behaviour, reproduction, growth and molting, ion and water balance, respiration and circulation, and energetics and locomotion. Each discusses how terrestrial species have become adapted from ancestral freshwater or marine forms. With its extensive bibliography and comprehensive index, including the natural history of nearly eighty species of brachyuran and anomuran crabs, Biology of the Land Crabs will continue to be an invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students.

Download or read book Life Traces of the Georgia Coast written by Anthony J. Martin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces) and a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically grounded book that will serve as source both for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.

Download or read book Environmental Adaptations written by F. John Vernberg and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Adaptations examines the dynamic interaction between an organism and its external environment in order to emphasize the adaptive significance of its responses. Focusing on the adaptations of crustaceans, it bridges the gap between other volumes in the series which deal in detail with the functional machinery of crustaceans and those dealing with ecological, taxonomic, behavioral, and applied subjects. This book is divided into seven chapters. The first two chapters highlight the range of respiratory responses exhibited by crustaceans when subjected to various environmental factors. Chapter 3 summarizes the mechanisms by which crustaceans take up energy and food from the environment under fluctuating conditions. It also reviews the assimilation efficiencies of crustaceans and the predator-prey interaction. Chapter 4 deals with ionic and osmoregulation from the view of its interaction with the environment. It emphasizes the adaptive nature of chemical regulation that enables various crustaceans to inhabit waters ranging from hypersaline ponds to fresh water. Chapter 5 discusses how the various species are reproductively adapted to generate offspring in the tremendous diversity of habitats occupied by crustaceans. The last two chapters report on the specific adaptations of crustaceans to terrestrial and freshwater habitats. This book is a valuable source for zoologists, paleontologists, ecologists, physiologists, endocrinologists, morphologists, pathologists, and fisheries biologists, and an essential reference work for institutional libraries.
