Brown and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long celebrated for its more than 7,100 islands, the Philippines is a country in Southeast Asia that shares only with Madagascar the distinction of having been designated as both a Megadiverse Nation and a Global Biodiversity Conservation Hotspot. The terrestrial vertebrate fauna of the northeastern Philippines, specifically Luzon Island, has been the subject of intense interest since the first historical explorations. Historically, numerous works considered the biodiversity of Luzon as ?depauperate? in the sense that they was presumed to contain a reduced number of species shared with a continental mainland source. This view has persisted until recently, when a renewed interest in faunistic studies of the northern Philippines has produced a series of notable discoveries, drawing attention to high levels of species diversity and endemism in the northern reaches of the archipelago. We provide the first report on the herpetological biodiversity (amphibians and reptiles) of the northern Sierra Madre Mountain Range, northeast Luzon Island, Philippines. We combine new and historical data, and the results of recent fieldwork, to highlight at least 101 species present in this unique region of the archipelago. Not only is this fauna largely endemic (approximately 70%), but also our results add to a nascent body of literature suggesting that the northern portions of the archipelago may be substantially more diverse than currently appreciated.

Download or read book Evolution written by Jonathan Bard and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution is the single unifying principle of biology and core to everything in the life sciences. More than a century of work by scientists from across the biological spectrum has produced a detailed history of life across the phyla and explained the mechanisms by which new species form. This textbook covers both this history and the mechanisms of speciation; it also aims to provide students with the background needed to read the research literature on evolution. Students will therefore learn about cladistics, molecular phylogenies, the molecular-genetical basis of evolutionary change including the important role of protein networks, symbionts and holobionts, together with the core principles of developmental biology. The book also includes introductory appendices that provide background knowledge on, for example, the diversity of life today, fossils, the geology of Earth and the history of evolutionary thought. Key Features Summarizes the origins of life and the evolution of the eukaryotic cell and of Urbilateria, the last common ancestor of invertebrates and vertebrates. Reviews the history of life across the phyla based on the fossil record and computational phylogenetics. Explains evo-devo and the generation of anatomical novelties. Illustrates the roles of small populations, genetic drift, mutation and selection in speciation. Documents human evolution using the fossil record and evidence of dispersal across the world leading to the emergence of modern humans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically the management of public lands from a multiple use perspective has led to a system that emphasizes those habitat components or faunal elements that primarily resulted in some sort of definable economic value. While this often benefitted other species that were not even considered in the original prescriptions, it also negatively impacted others. We no longer can afford to take this simplistic view of ecosystem management. We need to use a more holistic approach where ecological landscapes are considered as units, and land management practices incorporate all elements into an integrated policy. This includes examining the impacts of proposed land uses on amphibian, reptile, and small mammal populations.

It is reached by the trail leading out through Masinga. _ Palomina. An Indian village on the north slopes of the Sierras, on the river of the same name, and at an altitude of 5,000 feet (as given by Mr. Brown). There is a small hamlet on the coast at the mouth of this river which must not be confused with the Indian village at which Mr. Brown collected. I did not visit this locality, but according to all authentic reports which I have been able to gather it has been but slightly deforested, there being but a small area of savanna here. Pammo (see Chiruqua and Macotama). A word here as to just what is meant by a paramo may not be out of place. It is that portion of the high mountain ranges of the tropics which lies between timber-line and the snow-line or the crest of the range, as the case may-be, with a minimtun altitude of more or less than 10,000 feet, but varying considerably in different regions. In the eastern and central Andes of Colombia there exists a heavy temperate zone forest which extends up as high as I2, ooo feet in many places, but this forest is absent in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where paramo conditions begin at about 10,000 feet. The lower parts of the paramo contain more or less of an abundance of small gnarled trees and shrubs intermingled with bushes and coarse grass, the greater the quantity of moisture present the more abundant the shrubbery. As' the altitude increases the gnarled trees disappear, the shrubs become more stunted, the bushes lower and tougher, while the grasses increase. Certain species of hardy little bushes persist to the very snow-line, as well as the Freilejon. Pueblo V iejv. A village whose inhabitants are entirely Colombians, ...

Book Synopsis Amphibians and Reptiles of the West Indies by : Albert Schwartz
Download or read book Amphibians and Reptiles of the West Indies written by Albert Schwartz and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 1991 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This meticulous book summarizes all available information on West Indian herpetofauna. Using data from more than 6,000 pages of field notes and 1,000 literature sources, Schwartz and Henderson present a detailed account of every known reptile and amphibian species existing on the numerous islands of the West Indies. For each (almost 600), they offer a complete synopsis, including description, holotype, source of illustrations, and range map. A section on natural history summarizes what is known about the habitat, microhabitat, economic bearing, food habits, and reproduction of each animal, and in some cases it shows how these traits change from island to island. In opening remarks, the authors plead eloquently for awareness of the rampant environmental degradation taking place on the islands. For every herpetologist, biologist, ecologist, or biogeographer with an interest in the Antillean biota, Amphibians and Reptiles will become the source from which all future research proceeds.
Book Synopsis Tropical Island Herpetofauna by : Hidetoshi Ōta
Download or read book Tropical Island Herpetofauna written by Hidetoshi Ōta and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. Tropical Island Herpetofauna presents fifteen individual contributions. Part I contains four papers describing and analysing taxonomic and phyletic diversities of yet poorly reported herpetofaunas in some tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean archipelagos. Part II is devoted to our understanding of the ecological and behavioral plasticity of island reptiles, and their natural and anthropogenic dispersal abilities. Some of the papers also discuss impacts on native island reptiles by artificially introduced exotic predators and competitors. The final five papers in Part III discuss the temporary dynamics of land configurations and islands acting as landbridges which is reflected by the current distribution and variation of herpetofauna in subtropical East Asia. These contributions, while updating knowledge on the origin and current diversity of herpetofauna in the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean archipelagos, will enhance the appreciat
