Download or read book Analytical catalogue of fresh and brackish water molluscs of Russia and adjacent countries / Аналитический каталог пресноводных и солоноватоводных моллюсков России и сопредельных стран written by M. Vinarski and published by Litres. This book was released on 2022-01-29 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: В монографии обобщены данные о таксономии, номенклатуре, географическом распространении и некоторых аспектах биономии моллюсков пресных и солоноватых вод территории бывшего СССР. Всего в настоящий каталог включены данные о 424 номинальных видах класса Bivalvia и 728 номинальных видах Gastropoda. Актуальное видовое богатство водных континентальных моллюсков бывшего СССР, вероятно, существенно ниже, поскольку валидность многих из номинальных видов нуждается в дополнительном подтверждении, и в будущем часть из них может быть сведена в синонимы. Каждому виду посвящен краткий очерк, построенный по единой схеме. Также в каталоге содержатся данные о распространении всех видов моллюсков по отдельным регионам бывшего СССР, сведения о вселении инвазивных видов, информация об охранном статусе отдельных видов в соответствии с критериями МСОП. Также приведены количественные данные о сходстве водных фаун отдельных регионов бывшего СССР и результаты кластерного анализа, выполненного на их основе. Книга предназначена для специалистов в области малакологии, биогеографии, гидробиологии, а также для преподавателей и студентов высших учебных заведений.The monograph summarizes information on taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution and some aspects of bionomics of molluscs of the former USSR fresh and brackish waters. This ‘Analytical catalogue’ is a deeply improved and updated version of two previously published catalogue works (Yu.I. Kantor, A.V. Sysoev “Catalogue of molluscs of Russia and adjacent countries”, 2002, in Russian; and Yu.I. Kantor, M.V. Vinarski, A.A. Shileyko, A.V. Sysoev “Catalogue of the continental mollusks of Russia and adjacent territories”, 2010). In total, the data on 424 nominal species of Bivalvia and 728 nominal species of Gastropoda are included into this book. The actual species richness of aquatic continental molluscs of the former USSR perhaps is significantly lower since validity of many of these nominal species may be questioned and a portion of them is destined to be synonymized in future. During preparation of the book the authors tried to take into account different views on systematization of the ex- USSR aquatic molluscs and to find some correspondence between the ‘Russian’ system (founded in 1960–1970s by Ya.I. Starobogatov) and the approach followed by malacologists working outside Russia. Current approaches to the ‘species problem’ in malacology are briefly discussed. Also, the catalogue includes information about distribution of all molluscan species among large regions of the former USSR area, some data about invasions of alien species and the conservation status of indigenous taxa in accordance with IUCN Red List criteria. The quantitative estimates of faunistic similarity between aquatic malacofaunas of the ex-USSR large regions and the results of the cluster analysis carried out on the basis of these estimates are also provided. The book is addressed to malacologists, biogeographers, hydrobiologists as well as to university lecturers and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the co-discoverer of the first known burrowing dinosaur and a popular science author, Anthony J. Martin is an expert at explaining his fossil-finding work to broad audiences. In this engaging book, Martin uses modern and fossil traces to introduce readers to a menagerie of animals and other lifeforms that dig, crunch, bore, and otherwise reshape our planet. We meet elephants that dig ballroom-sized caves alongside volcanoes, parrotfishes that chew coral reefs and poop out sandy beaches, dinosaur-eating crocodiles, and moon snails that drill into clams, or even other moon snails. In a detective story that spans millions of years, ranging from microbes to whales, Martin shows how when life got hard, life got boring, using bodies and behavior to hide, eat, attack, and defend, affecting both our world and our understanding of evolution, climate, and life itself"--

Download or read book Integrative Observations and Assessments written by Shin-ichi Nakano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on new trends in monitoring biodiversity in the Asia-Pacific region, one of the most rapidly changing areas in the world. It provides reviews of the challenges in studying the spatial variability of biodiversity across various ecosystems. This book also describes newly developed concepts and methods for biodiversity observation including ubiquitous genotyping, systematic conservation, monitoring of the functions and services of ecosystems and biodiversity informatics. These contributions will lead to establishing integrative observations and assessments of biodiversity, essential for reporting the current status and for the effective conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. This work will interest biodiversity researchers not only in the Asia-Pacific region but also across the entire globe.

Download or read book Conus of the Southeastern United States and Caribbean written by Alan J. Kohn and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conus is the largest genus of animals in the sea, occurring throughout the world's tropical and subtropical oceans and contributing significantly to marine biodiversity. The shells of these marine mollusks are prized for their amazing variety and extraordinary beauty. The neurotoxic venoms they produce—injected by a hollow, harpoon-like tooth into prey animals that are then paralyzed and swallowed whole—have a range of pharmaceutical applications, from painkillers to antidepressants. This beautifully illustrated book identifies 53 valid species of the southeastern United States and the Caribbean, a region that supports a diverse but taxonomically challenging group of Conus. Introductory chapters cover the evolution and phylogeny of the genus, and notes on methodology are provided. Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, taxonomy, distribution, ecology, toxicology, life history, and evolutionary relationships. The book includes more than 2,100 photos of shells on 109 splendid color plates; more than 100 additional photos, many depicting live animals in color; and 35 color distribution maps. Identifies 53 valid species—the first reassessment of western Atlantic Conus in more than seventy years Features more than 2,100 photos of shells on 109 color plates Blends the traditional shell-character approach to identification with cutting-edge shell and radular tooth morphometrics and molecular genetic analyses Includes color images of live animals as well as color distribution maps
