Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora of the Galapagos Islands The bryophytes and thallophytes, as yet known to occur on the Galapagos Islands, are so few that they cannot be supposed in any adequate sense representative of the great groups to which they belong. It has, therefore, seemed best to exclude them from the tabular statistics. It may be remarked, however, that their inclusion would not have significantly altered the numerical relations presented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Botanical Survey of the Galapagos Islands In the spring of 1905 I received the appointment of botanist of the Scientific expedition sent to the Galapagos Islands by the California Academy of Sciences. In preparing for this expedition the California Academy purchased the U. S. Ship Ernest, a two masted schooner of eighty-seven tons burden, and after refitting, rechristened her the Academy. Our party consisted of eleven members, as follows: R. H. Beck, chief; F. X. Williams, entomologist; W. H. Ochsner, geologist and conchologist; J. R. Slevin, herpetologist; J. S. Hunter and E. W. Gifford, ornithologists; E. S. King, assistant herpetologist; Frederick T. Nelson, mate; J. Parker, navigator; James W. White, cook; and myself, botanist. All of the scientific members of the expedition Shipped as seamen, so that the expedition was made up mostly of sailor-scientists.

Download or read book The Biology of Island Floras written by David Bramwell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceanic islands offer biologists unparalleled opportunities to study evolutionary processes and ecological phenomena. However, human activity threatens to alter or destroy many of these fragile ecosystems, with recent estimates suggesting that nearly half of the world's insular endemics are threatened with extinction. Bringing together researchers from around the world, this book illustrates how modern research methods and new concepts have challenged accepted theories and changed our understanding of island flora. Particular attention is given to the impact of molecular studies and the insights that they provide into topics such as colonisation, radiation, diversification and hybridisation. Examples are drawn from around the world, including the Hawaiian archipelago, Galapagos Islands, Madagascar and the Macronesian region. Conservation issues are also highlighted, with coverage of alien species and the role of ex situ conservation providing valuable information that will aid the formulation of management strategies and genetic rescue programmes.
