Book Synopsis Biology and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs by : John T. Tanacredi
Download or read book Biology and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs written by John T. Tanacredi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-04 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horseshoe crabs, those mysterious ancient mariners, lured me into the sea as a child along the beaches of New Jersey. Drawn to their shiny domed shells and spiked tails, I could not resist picking them up, turning them over and watching the wondrous mechanical movement of their glistening legs, articulating with one another as smoothly as the inner working of a clock. What was it like to be a horseshoe crab, I wondered? What did they eat? Did they always move around together? Why were some so large and others much smaller? How old were they, anyway? What must it feel like to live underwater? What else was out there, down there, in the cool, green depths that gave rise to such intriguing creatures? The only way to find out, I reasoned, would be to go into the ocean and see for myself, and so I did, and more than 60 years later, I still do.

Book Synopsis International Horseshoe Crab Conservation and Research Efforts: 2007- 2020 by : John T. Tanacredi
Download or read book International Horseshoe Crab Conservation and Research Efforts: 2007- 2020 written by John T. Tanacredi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first International Conference on Horseshoe Crab’s Conservation conducted at Dowling College, USA, (2007) and it’s proceedings published by Springer in 2009, prompted the continued research and conservation efforts presented at subsequent conferences and colloquium in Hong Kong, Taiwan, (2011); San Diego, CA, (2014), (CERF); Japan, Sasebo (2015) and an accepted inclusion for a special session on Horseshoe Crabs at the 2017 CERF Conference held in Providence, RI, USA. All these aforementioned conferences contributed manuscripts, posters, workshop “position papers”, and oral presentations the majority of which have not been published in total. In 2015, Carmichael et al. had published by Springer the majority of manuscripts from the 2011 Hong Kong / Taiwan conference. However, workshop results and all subsequent presentations and workshops were not. The Japan conference presented over 40 papers alone. A collection of all workshop summaries, poster presentations and new manuscript submittals (San Diego, CA; Sasebo, Japan; and Providence, RI) as well as products prepared for the IUCN World Congress in Hawaii, (2016), are included potential contributions for review in this compilation now available for global distribution in this Springer Nature publication. The “Proceedings of International Conferences on the Biology and Conservation of Horseshoe Crabs”, thus contains over 50 manuscripts and a diversified collection of documents, photos and memorabilia covering all four of the horseshoe crab species globally: their biology, ecology evolution, educational, and societal importance. This book exposes the impacts that humans have imposed on all four of these species, revealing through the coordinated effort of horseshoe crab scientists with the IUCN, of the worldwide need for a clear conservative effort to protect these paleo- survival organisms from a looming extinction event. Biologists, conservationists, educators, and health professionals will all welcome this book not only for exploration of its pharmacological interest, but also for the mystery of their longevity. This book also clarifies the future research needs and the conservation agenda for the species worldwide. Anyone working or studying estuaries on a global scale, will need to obtain this seminal work on horseshoe crabs.

Book Synopsis The Trilobite Book by : Riccardo Levi-Setti
Download or read book The Trilobite Book written by Riccardo Levi-Setti and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scientist recounts his global adventure documenting trilobite fossils in this full-color book perfect for armchair paleontologists. Distant relatives of modern lobsters, horseshoe crabs, and spiders, trilobites swam the planet’s prehistoric seas for 300 million years, from the Lower Cambrian to the end of the Permian eras—and they did so very capably. Trilobite fossils have been unearthed on every continent, with more than 20,000 species identified by science. One of the most arresting animals of our pre-dinosaur world, trilobites are also favorites among the fossil collectors of today, their crystalline eyes often the catalyst for a lifetime of paleontological devotion. And there is no collector more devoted—or more venerated—than Riccardo Levi-Setti. With The Trilobite Book, a much-anticipated follow-up to his classic Trilobites, Levi-Setti brings us a glorious and revealing guide to these surreal arthropods of ancient Earth. Featuring specimens from Bohemia to Newfoundland, California to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, and Wales to the Anti-Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Levi-Setti’s magnificent book reanimates these “butterflies of the seas” in 235 astonishing full-color photographs. All original, Levi-Setti’s images serve as the jumping-off point for tales of his global quests in search of these highly sought-after fossils; for discussions of their mineralogical origins, as revealed by their color; and for unraveling the role of the now-extinct trilobites in our planetary history. Sure to enthrall paleontologists with its scientific insights and amateur enthusiasts with its beautiful and informative images, The Trilobite Book combines the best of science, technology, aesthetics, and personal adventure. It will inspire new collectors for eras to come. Praise for The Trilobite Book “[The Trilobite Book]marries the intertwined story of [Levi-Setti’s] global hunt for specimens and trilobites’ place in prehistory with 235 superb color photographs of select fossils. Perhaps most astounding is the array found by Arkadiy Evdokimov in Russia: their preservation is exquisite, down to the rococo flourishes of curving spines and protuberant, complex eyes.” —Barbara Kiser, Nature “This gorgeous, well-researched book is a must-have for anyone interested in these prehistoric creatures.” —Carla Sinclair, Boing Boing

Book Synopsis Asian Horseshoe Crabs by : Menghong Hu
Download or read book Asian Horseshoe Crabs written by Menghong Hu and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2025-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Horseshoe Crabs: Biology, Ecology, Conservation, and Utilization provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge on this mysterious family of crustaceans, which are often described as "living fossils.” As overfishing and environmental stressors have caused these species to become endangered, this is a timely and necessary book to ensure the protection of horseshoe crabs from extinction. Written by international experts, this book focuses on the three most endangered species: Tachypleus tridentatus (tri-spine horseshoe crab), Tachypleus gigas (Indo-Pacific horseshoe crab), and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda (mangrove horseshoe crab). It provides readers with an initial understanding of their evolution, reproduction, physiological development, and behaviors, going on to discuss their genomics and current population dynamics. The book then examines horseshoe crabs' role in human consumption and biomedical research, such as the use of its unique blue blood and chitin in human disease treatments. It also covers current conservation efforts and practices to ensure that horseshoe crabs do not become extinct. Asian Horseshoe Crabs: Biology, Ecology, Conservation, and Utilization is a vital resource for marine biologists and ecologists interested in conservation efforts. Students and academics can also find this useful in learning about these unusual marine animals and how to protect them.
