Titre : Plant evolution in the Mediterranean: insights for conservation Type de document : livre Auteurs : John D. Thompson, Auteur Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 439 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-883514-1 Prix : 90.00 GBP Note générale : 2 ex.; Voir aussi la 1ère édition de 2005 à la cote 67296/16; DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198835141.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity Biogeography Ecology Evolution Indigenous organisms History Mediterranean region Plant physiology Plants Reproduction Resource conservation Résumé : Since the first edition of this book published in 2005, there has been an immense amount of new and fascinating work on the history, ecology, and evolution of the Mediterranean flora. During this time, human impacts have continued to increase dramatically, significantly influencing both the ecology and evolution of the region's biota. This timely and comprehensive update of the original text integrates a diverse and scattered literature to produce a synthetic account of Mediterranean plant evolutionary ecology. It maintains the accessible style of its previous version whilst incorporating recent work in a new structural framework. This is not a traditional "plant science" book per se, but a novel integration of history, ecology, biogeography, and evolution, all set in the context of a dramatically increasing human footprint. There is a particular emphasis on the role of human activities as an ecological factor and their subsequent impact on plant evolution. Conversely, it demonstrates how an understanding of the evolutionary ecology of the region's flora can be used to provide insights into its future conservation and management.
Plant Evolution in the Mediterranean is aimed at all those who are interested in the biology of the Mediterranean region, whether it is taxonomy, ecology, evolution, conservation policy and management, or the regional history of its biodiversity in general. It will be of relevance and use to all graduate students and researchers of Mediterranean-type ecosystem ecology and geography, as well as professional ecologists, evolutionary biologists, conservation biologists, and environmental practitioners requiring a concise, authoritative overview of the topic.En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/plant-evolution-in-the-mediterranean-978 [...] Plant evolution in the Mediterranean: insights for conservation [livre] / John D.

Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 303 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-882429-9 Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780198824282.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecology Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "Theoretical Ecology: concepts and applications continues the authoritative and established sequence of theoretical ecology books initiated by Robert M. May which helped pave the way for ecology to become a more robust theoretical science, encouraging the modern biologist to better understand the mathematics behind their theories. This latest instalment builds on the legacy of its predecessors with a completely new set of contributions. Rather than placingemphasis on the historical ideas in theoretical ecology, the Editors have encouraged each contribution to: synthesize historical theoretical ideas within modern frameworks that have emerged in the last 10-20 years (e.g. bridging population interactions to whole food webs); describe novel theory that has emergedin the last 20 years from historical empirical areas (e.g. macro-ecology); and finally to cover the rapidly expanding area of theoretical ecological applications (e.g. disease theory and global change theory). The result is a forward-looking synthesis that will help guide the field through a further decade of discovery and development. It is written for upper level undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers seeking synthesis and the state of the art in growing areas of interest in theoretical ecology, genetics, evolutionary ecology, and mathematical biology" En ligne : https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780198824282.001 [...] Theoretical ecology: concepts and applications [livre] / Kevin Shear McCann, Éditeur scientifique ; Gabriel Gellner, Éditeur scientifique ; Gabriel Gellner . - 1st ed. . - Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press, 2020 . - 303 p.

Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 303 p.

Urban space is thus becoming an important, novel ecological niche for humans and wildlife alike. Building on knowledge gathered by urban ecologists during the last half century, evidence of evolutionary responses to urbanization has rapidly emerged. Urban evolutionary biology is a nascent yet fast-growing field of research—and a fascinating testing ground for evolutionary biologists worldwide. Urbanization offers a great range of opportunities to examine evolutionary processes because of the radically altered and easily quantifiable urban habitat, and the large number of cities worldwide, enabling rigorous, replicated tests of evolutionary hypotheses. Urban populations are increasingly exhibiting both neutral and adaptive evolutionary changes at levels ranging from genotypes to phenotypes. The novelty of urban evolutionary biology is that these changes are driven by the cities we have built, including effects of infrastructure, pollution, and social characteristics of our urban neighbourhoods. It will thereby enrich the field of evolutionary biology with emergent yet incredibly potent new research themes where the urban habitat is key. In a series of sixteen chapters written by leading evolutionary biologists working on urban drivers of evolution, Urban Evolutionary Biology is the first academic book in the field. It synthesizes current knowledge on evolutionary processes occurring literally on our doorstep, across the globe, and in each city independently.

Middle Eastern plant ecology today includes the plants of primordial Gondwana and ancient Arabia felix; of Iranian “Hyrcania” and the land south of the Caspian Sea; and fabled plants of the Torah, Bible, and Koran. The region is generally dry and getting drier, yet it is also home to spectacular cloud forests of southern Arabia. The region has been badly neglected in terms of its overall natural history and much of this remains relatively unknown. The plant ecology is just getting under way and a book seems timely. Major dryland families and regional plant communities are described. The high frequency of facilitative interactions, where certain “host” species help others is noted. The book includes a “plant’s-eye-view” of domestication and journeys through some 24 countries, highlighting five regional biodiversity “hotspots” where the challenges of desertification, habitat loss, and other threats to plant biodiversity are acute. Populations of iconic long-lived tree species like the Dragon’s-blood tree, the Bankoualé Palm, and beautiful Mimusops trees are all mostly made up of elderly individuals. The book explores effects of long-term climate change and the isolation of climate relicts upon the “regeneration niche”—namely, upon the youngsters and adolescents of such species. Other chapters explore “deep-time” effects, salt and halophytes, succulence and sclerophylly, specialized photosynthesis, opportunism, and “bet-hedging” strategies for flowering and dispersal.
