Book Synopsis Brown Seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) of Britain and Ireland by : Robert L. Fletcher
Download or read book Brown Seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) of Britain and Ireland written by Robert L. Fletcher and published by . This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brown Seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) of Britain and Ireland provides the first complete, up-to-date, detailed illustrated guide and keys to the nearly 200 species of brown algae present around the coasts of Britain and Ireland. It is the culmination of over 30 years of field and laboratory studies by the author. Following an exhaustive introduction that covers the biology and ecology of brown seaweeds, a checklist of species is set out, followed by clear and user-friendly keys to the genera. Particular attention is then paid to providing detailed illustrations, and the volume holds more than 300 compound plates of line drawings and photographs in its extensive taxonomic treatment. Comprehensive information is given on the geographical and seasonal distributions, synonymy, morphology, anatomy, cytology, reproduction, life histories, taxonomy, systematics and bibliographic material pertaining to each species. Notably, this flora offers a much fuller consideration of many of the lesser known, more cryptic microscopic brown algae than previously available. Further, the book also contains the results of much original research undertaken by the author. This will surely remain a standard reference work on brown seaweeds for many years to come - an indispensable research tool and field guide for phycologists and students throughout the North Atlantic region and beyond.
Book Synopsis Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland by : Francis Bunker
Download or read book Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland written by Francis Bunker and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cool temperate waters of the British and Irish seas contain an astonishing 6% of the world’s algal species, more than 600 different seaweeds, and yet most divers, snorkellers and rockpoolers can put names to only a handful of them. The first edition of Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland has proved invaluable to an enormous number of people, not just volunteer Seasearch divers and snorkellers, and this eagerly awaited second edition will no doubt prove to be equally as popular. The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the wonderful marine environment around Britain and Ireland, and improve identification of the wealth of seaweeds so often overlooked. Features of the new edition include: ● Over 230 species described in detail with colour photographs, information on size, habitat and distribution maps ● Over 50 new species, many with information on how to identify to species level using microscopic features ● Key distinguishing features and areas of identity confusion highlighted ● Colour and form used to group species and aid identification using dichotomous keys ● Details of life histories and reproductive processes for the main seaweed groups ● Both scientific and English names used for species and groups ● A glossary of common and specialised terms

Book Synopsis The Pelagic Dictionary of Natural History of the British Isles by : Dr. Peter Jarvis
Download or read book The Pelagic Dictionary of Natural History of the British Isles written by Dr. Peter Jarvis and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 2241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique collection of concise but detailed information on 10,000 animals, plants, fungi and algae of the British Isles. Every species with an English common name is included. The compendium is in two parts. The first, smaller part, looks at various terms that people interested in natural history may come across. The second provides information on individual species or species groups, with entries on those with English (common) names, as well as selected families, orders, classes, etc. In the case of marine organisms, entries are given for intertidal and subtidal invertebrate species, and generally speaking for fish species that might be observed inshore. Indication is often given on distribution as well as whether a species is common, scarce or something in between. For some species a note is made of population size and trends. Comments are made where appropriate on etymology, both of the English name and the binomial. No other natural history dictionary or cognate publication relating to the British Isles is as comprehensive in taxonomic cover.

Book Synopsis Sea Squirts and Sea Sponges of Britain and Ireland by : Sarah Bowen
Download or read book Sea Squirts and Sea Sponges of Britain and Ireland written by Sarah Bowen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-09 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea squirts and sponges are found in most seafloor habitats around the coasts of Britain and Ireland. Despite being the dominant life forms in many areas, these two groups of under-recorded marine animals are often confused with one another, and most divers and snorkellers can recognise and name very few species. In fact, around 500 species of Ascidiacea (sea squirts) and Porifera (sponges) have been described so far in British and Irish seas, corresponding to over 4% of the world’s total. This book is recommended reading for anyone who wants to identify and discover more about these fascinating and diverse animals. Rather than relying on the characteristics of preserved specimens, this guide uses marine photography and detailed underwater observations to concentrate on in situ features, allowing you to record species without collecting them. Most sea squirts found in Britain and Ireland’s shallow waters are included, together with the most easily recognised sponges. Whether you are a student, a diver, a rockpooler or simply an enthusiast, this is an essential companion. ● Over 115 species described in detail with in situ photographs to help with underwater recognition ● Information on size, depth, habitat and distribution ● Key distinguishing features and areas of confusion in identification highlighted ● Details of body structure, life histories, digestive and reproductive processes ● Information about predators, interactions between species, non-native and problem invasive species

Book Synopsis The Seaweed Collector's Handbook by : Miek Zwamborn
Download or read book The Seaweed Collector's Handbook written by Miek Zwamborn and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seaweed is so familiar and yet its names - pepper dulse, sea lettuce, bladderwrack - are largely unknown to us. In this short, exquisitely illustrated portrait, the Dutch poet and artist Miek Zwamborn shares her discoveries of its history, culture and use, from the Neolithic people of the Orkney Islands to sushi artisans in modern Japan. Seaweed troubled Columbus on his voyages across the Atlantic, intrigued von Humboldt in the Sargasso Sea and inspired artists from Hokusai to Matisse. Covering seaweed's collection by Victorians, its adoption into fashion and dance and its potential for combating climate change, and with a fabulous series of recipes based around the 'truffles of the sea', this is a wonderful gift for every nature lover's home.
Book Synopsis The Nature-printed British Sea-weeds by : William Grosart Johnstone
Download or read book The Nature-printed British Sea-weeds written by William Grosart Johnstone and published by . This book was released on 1859 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most crystalline water could scarcely more delicately float these lace-like trophies of the Garden of the Sea than do [the] . pages [of this work]" (preface to vol.IV). "It will be seen that a full and accurate history of each species has been given; and where the species has not been such as to allow of its being Nature-Printed, engraved magnified dissections have been introduced into the text. The work will be continued on the same plan" (Advertisement, in vol.I). The final tally of 222 plates includes 220 that are nature-printed. They are printed in two or more colours, most plates include a single nature-printed specimen with engraved magnified dissections, but there are occasional plates which include more than one specimen and no engraved dissections. The process that Henry Bradbury employed to print the present plates was first developed in 1853 by Alois Auer, Director of the Government Printing Office of Vienna. Bradbury learnt details of the process in Vienna and subsequently brought the knowledge and equipment to England. The plates were produced by passing the object to be reproduced between a steel plate and a lead plate, through two rollers. The high pressure exerted imbeds the object (in the present case examples of sea-weed) into the lead plate. Coloured inks are subsequently applied to this stamped lead plate, and a printed copy can be produced. If more than one colour is needed then several were applied individually, by hand, to appropriate areas of the plate but all the colours would then be printed together from one pull of the press. Very few books were printed using this process, and two of the best were produced by Henry Bradbury: the first was published in 1857 (The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland) and the present work is the second. Ferns and seaweeds proved to be ideal subjects for nature-printing: the process was particularly successful with the thin two-dimensional fronds of ferns and seaweed -- Abe books website.
