Biological diversity: frontiers in measurement and assessment / A. E. Magurran (2011)  

Public ISBD Titre : Biological diversity: frontiers in measurement and assessment Type de document : livre Auteurs : A. E. Magurran, Éditeur scientifique ; B. J. McGill, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 345 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-958067-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity conservation  Methods  Monitoring  Population distribution Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Biological Diversity provides an up to date, authoritative review of the methods of measuring and assessing biological diversity, together with their application. The book's emphasis is on quantifying the variety, abundance, and occurrence of taxa, and on providing objective and clear guidance for both scientists and managers. This is a fast-moving field and one that is the focus of intense research interest. However the rapid development of new methods, the inconsistent and sometimes confusing application of old ones, and the lack of consensus in the literature about the best approach, means that there is a real need for a current synthesis. Biological Diversity covers fundamental measurement issues such as sampling, re-examines familiar diversity metrics (including species richness, diversity statistics, and estimates of spatial and temporal turnover), discusses species abundance distributions and how best to fit them, explores species occurrence and the spatial structure of biodiversity, and investigates alternative approaches used to assess trait, phylogenetic, and genetic diversity. The final section of the book turns to a selection of contemporary challenges such as measuring microbial diversity, evaluating the impact of disturbance, assessing biodiversity in managed landscapes, measuring diversity in the imperfect fossil record, and using species density estimates in management and conservation.

Editeur : Malden : Blackwell Année de publication : 2004 Importance : 256 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-632-05633-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity  Measurement  Species Résumé : This accessible and timely book provides a comprehensive overview of how to measure biodiversity. The book highlights new developments, including innovative approaches to measuring taxonomic distinctness and estimating species richness, and evaluates these alongside traditional methods such as species abundance distributions, and diversity and evenness statistics. *Helps the reader quantify and interpret patterns of ecological diversity, focusing on the measurement and estimation of species richness and abundance. *Explores the concept of ecological diversity, bringing new perspectives to a field beset by contradictory views and advice. *Discussion spans issues such as the meaning of community in the context of ecological diversity, scales of diversity and distribution of diversity among taxa *Highlights advances in measurement paying particular attention to new techniques such as species richness estimation, application of measures of diversity to conservation and environmental management and addressing sampling issues. *Includes worked examples of key methods in helping people to understand the techniques and use available computer packages more effectively.

Ecological diversity and its measurement / A. E. Magurran (1988)

Public ISBD Titre : Ecological diversity and its measurement Type de document : livre Auteurs : A. E. Magurran Editeur : Londres : Croom Helm; Princeton University Press Année de publication : 1988 Importance : 179 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7099-3540-7 Note générale : ISBN-10 : 0-691-08491-2 (Pbk) Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Abondance  Diversité écologique  Echantillonnage  Ecosystème  Mesure  Modèle Résumé : Ecological diversity, or the variety and abundance of species in different habitats and communities, is one of the central themes of ecology. However, much of the existing literature on this subject is diffuse, often confusing, and in many cases complicated by unnecessarily difficult mathematics. This book aims to provide a succinct and clear summary of the relevant literature and a practical guide to the measurement of diversity. The author discusses the methods of describing ecological diversity in conjunction with specific recommendations for the selection and interpretation of diversity measures. In addition, she considers the sampling problems often encountered in ecological censusing. The work concludes with a discussion of the empirical value of diversity measures. A special feature that makes the book particularly accessible to readers without great expertise in mathematics is the inclusion of worked examples of the main diversity measures and models.
