Author by: Janet Moore Languange: en Publisher by: Cambridge University Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 69 Total Download: 581 File Size: 49,8 Mb Description: So much has to be crammed into today's biology courses that basic information on animal groups and their evolutionary origins is often left out. This is particularly true for the invertebrates. The second edition of Janet Moore's An Introduction to the Invertebrates fills this gap by providing a short updated guide to the invertebrate phyla, looking at their diverse forms, functions and evolutionary relationships.
This book first introduces evolution and modern methods of tracing it, then considers the distinctive body plan of each invertebrate phylum showing what has evolved, how the animals live, and how they develop. Boxes introduce physiological mechanisms and development. The final chapter explains uses of molecular evidence and presents an up-to-date view of evolutionary history, giving a more certain definition of the relationships between invertebrates. This user-friendly and well-illustrated introduction will be invaluable for all those studying invertebrates. Author by: Hugh F.
Clifford Languange: en Publisher by: University of Alberta Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 23 Total Download: 346 File Size: 42,8 Mb Description: A great diversity of invertebrate life lives beneath the surface of Alberta's lakes and streams. Aquatic Invertebrates of Alberta complements existing field guides to organisms in Alberta, covering all major groups of aquatic invertebrates. Baikal makarov serial numbers.
Colour photographs, pictorial keys, and 114 whole-specimen drawings complement the text. This book is only available through the University of Alberta Bookstore (print-on-demand). Author by: Jim P. Curry Languange: en Publisher by: Springer Science & Business Media Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 77 Total Download: 806 File Size: 43,9 Mb Description: Grasslands comprise more than a quarter of the Earth's land surface. In addition to supporting a wide range of vertebrates such as domestic livestock and a variety of games species, grassland is the natural habitat for a wide range of invertebrate species, and this book considers those which occur in grassland and their impact on soil fertility and herbage growth. It describes grassland as a habitat for invertebrates, the groups which occur there and their abudance. An extensive literature on grassland invertebrates scattered through numerous scientific journals and reports is drawn on in an attempt to develop an overview.
In the opening chapter the major grassland types are considered and the features which influence the distribution and abudance of the invertebrates which inhabit them are discussed. Next the major taxonomic groups are reviewed in turn, with a brief account of their biology and ecology and of their ecosystem role.
Some general features of grassland invertebrate communities are then described and teh factors which influence th epopulation densities of their constituent species are considered. Particular attentionm is given to the ways in which populations are influenced by management practices. The final and largest chapterdeals with the various ways in which invertebrates influence important grassland processes through ingestion of organic matter, interaction with injurious species is considered, with particular emphasis on the potential for achieving this through manipulating grassland management practices. Author by: Darold P. Batzer Languange: en Publisher by: John Wiley & Sons Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 77 Total Download: 977 File Size: 42,8 Mb Description: Wetlands are crucial ecosystems that help filter a great number of toxicants out of the earth's waters. They must be managed and occasionally even built from scratch, including all of the flora and fauna that grows there.
