Book Synopsis Interrelationships of the Platyhelminthes by : D T J Littlewood
Download or read book Interrelationships of the Platyhelminthes written by D T J Littlewood and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interrelationships of the Platyhelminthes elucidates the role of the flatworms in the animal kingdom. It brings together results from an international group of experts, spanning many disciplines, who give evidence for the phylogeny of flatworms and constituent major taxa. A combined approach, using traditional comparative techniques along with the modern techniques of molecular phylogeny, is utilized to show that the monophyly of the phylum is not fully established, and that the phylum may in fact consist of two groups: the acoels and their relatives, which are basal metazoans, and the Rhabditophora, which is a more derived group.

Book Synopsis Invasive Wild Pigs in North America by : Kurt C. VerCauteren
Download or read book Invasive Wild Pigs in North America written by Kurt C. VerCauteren and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout North America, non-native wild pigs have become an ecologically and economically destructive invasive species. Though they are regarded as a popular game species by some, provide economic benefits to others, and are even engrained into societal heritage in some areas, wild pigs are responsible for an extraordinary amount of damage in both natural and anthropogenic systems throughout North America. As the density and range of wild pig habitat have substantially increased over the last several decades, the magnitude and diversity of their negative impacts are not yet fully realized or quantified. With various conflicts continually emerging, wild pig management is difficult and expensive to achieve. As a result, wild pigs represent one of the greatest wildlife management challenges North America faces in the 21st century. Invasive Wild Pigs in North America: Ecology, Impacts, and Management addresses all aspects of wild pig biology, ecology, damage, and management in a single comprehensive volume. It assimilates and organizes information on the most destructive introduced vertebrate species in the United States, establishing a foundation from which managers, researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders can build upon into the future. The book provides comprehensive coverage of wild pig biology and ecology, techniques for management and research, and regional chapters. It is an asset to readers interested in wild pigs, the resources they impact, and how to mitigate those impacts, and establishes a vision of the future of wild pigs in North America. Features: Compiles valuable knowledge for a broad audience including wild pig managers, researchers, adversaries, and enthusiasts from across North America Addresses taxonomy, morphology, genetics, physiology, spatial ecology, population dynamics, diseases and parasites, and the naturalized niche of wild pigs Includes chapters on damage to resources, management, research methods, human dimensions and education, and policy and legislation Contains full color images and case studies of interesting and informative situations being created by wild pigs throughout North America Includes a chapter on wild pigs at the wildland–urban interface, a more recent and especially challenging issue
Book Synopsis Ecomorphology and Phygesis in Eothenomys sp. and Apodemus chevrieri of Hengduan Mountains Region of Yunnan by : Zhengkun Wang
Download or read book Ecomorphology and Phygesis in Eothenomys sp. and Apodemus chevrieri of Hengduan Mountains Region of Yunnan written by Zhengkun Wang and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 本论文以分布于云南西部横断山地区的绒鼠和高山姬鼠为研究对象，从基因水平及个体表型水平进行研究，为该地区小型哺乳动物适应特征提供一些基础材料。云南剑川地区的绒鼠和高山姬鼠在基因水平上与其它地区的个体都存在显著差异，绒鼠种群之间基因流较弱。剑川地区的绒鼠应为E. fidelis，且可将其视为一独立的物种。绒鼠的遗传多样性小于姬鼠，这可能是绒鼠主要分布于横断山地区，而姬鼠分布更广的一个重要原因。不同地区高山姬鼠头骨形态和各器官比较中的差异与其生活习性，栖息生境等因素有关，且横断山地区海拔高度的垂直变化中氧压的变化对动物的适应有重要影响。为了更好的适应横断山地区特殊的环境特征，剑川地区的该两种动物都出现了比分类地位相近的物种消化能低，消化率高，推测此两种动物通过较高的能量吸收率来获得消化能以维持较高的代谢率水平，有利于对低纬度高海拔地区环境的适应。
Book Synopsis Pelicans, Cormorants, and their Relatives by : J. Bryan Nelson
Download or read book Pelicans, Cormorants, and their Relatives written by J. Bryan Nelson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-01-26 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pelecaniformes are a large and important group of seabirds, containing many spectacular species. This book addresses the breeding biology of the six pelecaniform families, which comprise the closely-related core groups (pelicans, cormorants/shags, darters, gannets/boobies) and their more distant relatives, the frigate birds and tropic birds. Many fundamental questions can be addressed through the pelecaniformes: Why do they breed in colonies? What are the links between their feeding methods and their reproduction? What part does territorial and pairing behaviour play in their life-cycles? These and scores of comparable issues, including those related to man, are woven here into a richly interpretative text. The author's approach to the subject is threefold. First, the pelecaniformes are placed within the framework of four discrete disciplines, with chapters on evolutionary relationships, comparative behaviour, ecology, and the birds' relationship with humans. Secondly, each of the six families is discussed, elucidating the range of taxonomy, behaviour, and ecology within each. Finally, we progress to specific level, using the same structure as for the family accounts. In this way, each of the 60-odd species can be understood not just as discrete units, but as part of their family and order. The book is unique in its coverage of the entire order and in its combination of facts and interpretation. Pelicans, Cormorants, and their Allies will enable readers not only to identify the many spectacular species which make up this large and important group of seabirds, but also to understand their breeding biology.

This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 1736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides a comprehensive review of the nomenclature and distribution of the Geadephaga of America, north of Mexico. Overall 2439 valid species-group taxa in 208 genera are catalogued along with their synonyms. Besides the usual information pertaining to author(s), date and page of publication, the type locality, location of name-bearing type, first reference establishing each synonym, and etymology for many patronymic names are provided for species-group names. Genus-group names are listed with the author(s), year of publication, page citation, type species with manner of fixation and etymology for most. The geographical distributions of all species-group taxa are briefly summarized and their state and province records are indicated. About 2500 references are listed with publication dates for many in order to assess priority of names.Several new nomenclatural acts are introduced including one new genus-group taxon, one new replacement name, three changes in precedence, five new genus-group synonymies, 65 new species-group synonymies, one new species-group status, and 12 new combinations.The work includes also a discussion of the notable private North American carabid collections, a synopsis of all extant world geadephagan tribes and subfamilies, a brief faunistic assessment of the fauna, a list of North American fossil Geadephaga, a list of North American Geadephaga larvae described or illustrated, a list of species described from specimens mislabeled as from North America, and a list of unavailable names listed from North America.
