Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South American Herpetofauna: Its Origin, Evolution, and Dispersal This volume is the result of a symposium of the same title held on 11-13 August 1977 in conjunction with the joint annual meetings of the Herpetologists League and the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles at Lawrence, Kansas. I originally conceived the idea for such a symposium in August 1975 while returning from a 15-month sojourn in South America. My interactions with many South American biologists during that trip had convinced me that the time was appropriate for a thorough discussion of ideas and presentation of our existing knowledge of the South American heqetofauna. The initial response from colleagues was heartening, so during the following year the symposium was organized. Unfortunately, owing to various circumstances not all subjects were covered; obvious omissions in this volume are chapters on the South American-North American herpetofaunal relationships and the herpetofaunas of the Brasilian Highlands, the Atacama Desert, and the caatinga and campos cerrados of Brasil. This volume is organized in much the same way as was the symposium, except that my introductory chapter provides an overview of the South American herpetofauna. Chapter 2 deals with the fossil record of amphibians and reptiles in South America, and Chapters 3 and 4 are concerned with the relationships of the South American herpetofauna with those of Africa and Australia. The Quaternary biogeography of the continent is the subject of Chapters 5-7. Treatments of regional herpetofaunas are found in Chapters 8-15, and the Participants in the Symposium on the South American Herpetofauna held in Lawrence, Kansas, 11-13 August 1977.

Book Synopsis The Physical Geography of South America by : Thomas T. Veblen
Download or read book The Physical Geography of South America written by Thomas T. Veblen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Physical Geography of South America, the eighth volume in the Oxford Regional Environments series, presents an enduring statement on the physical and biogeographic conditions of this remarkable continent and their relationships to human activity. It fills a void in recent environmental literature by assembling a team of specialists from within and beyond South America in order to provide an integrated, cross-disciplinary body of knowledge about this mostly tropical continent, together with its high mountains and temperate southern cone. The authors systematically cover the main components of the South American environment - tectonism, climate, glaciation, natural landscape changes, rivers, vegetation, animals, and soils. The book then presents more specific treatments of regions with special attributes from the tropical forests of the Amazon basin to the Atacama Desert and Patagonian steppe, and from the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific coasts to the high Andes. Additionally, the continents environments are given a human face by evaluating the roles played by people over time, from pre-European and European colonial impacts to the effects of modern agriculture and urbanization, and from interactions with El Niño events to prognoses for the future environments of the continent.
Book Synopsis Biogeographic Patterns of South American Anurans by : Tiago S. Vasconcelos
Download or read book Biogeographic Patterns of South American Anurans written by Tiago S. Vasconcelos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes different facets of anuran amphibian distribution in South America. We integrate alternative biological metrics employing cutting-edge methods to understand the dynamic processes underlying species distribution patterns. By using the modern biogeographic toolbox, we explore how richness gradients, phylogenetic diversity, functional diversity, and range size/endemism distribution of amphibians vary along the continent. Moreover, we present a robust proposal for priority areas for conservation of anurans in South America that maximizes representativeness of distinct biodiversity facets.

Book Synopsis Origin, Evolution and Biogeographic History of South American Turtles by : Marcelo S. de la Fuente
Download or read book Origin, Evolution and Biogeographic History of South American Turtles written by Marcelo S. de la Fuente and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extended continental South American turtle record (Norian to Lujanian) allows us to follow the evolution of this reptile clade from its origins. Several significant stem turtle taxa such as: Palaeochersis talampayensis and Condorchelys antiqua provide information on the first steps of turtle evolution. Others such as: Chubutemys copelloi or Patagoniaemys gasparinae provide clues to the origin of the bizarre horned tortoises of the clade Meiolaniidae. The panpleurodiran species such as Notoemys laticentralis or Notoemys zapatocaensis shed light on the origin of modern pleurodiran turtles. This book explores aquatic and terrestrial cryptodiran turtles, South Gondwana pleurodiran turtles, North Gondwana pleurodiran turtles; Meiolaniforms and early differentiation of Mesozoic turtles.

Book Synopsis High-Latitude Rainforests and Associated Ecosystems of the West Coast of the Americas by : Richard G. Lawford
Download or read book High-Latitude Rainforests and Associated Ecosystems of the West Coast of the Americas written by Richard G. Lawford and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional intercomparisons between ecosystems on different continents can be a powerful tool to better understand the ways in which ecosystems respond to global change. Large areas are often needed to characterize the causal mechanisms governing interactions between ecozones and their environments. Factors such as weather and climate patterns, land-ocean and land-atmosphere interactions all play important roles. As a result of the strong physical north-south symmetry between the western coasts of North and South America, the similarities in climate, coastal oceanography and physiography between these two regions have been extensively documented. High Latitude Rain Forests and Associated Ecosystems of the West Coast of the Americas presents current research on West Coast forest and river ecology, and compares ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest with those of South America.
