Aeroecology / Phillip B. Chilson (2017)  

Public ISBD Titre : Aeroecology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Phillip B. Chilson, Éditeur scientifique ; Winifred F. Frick, Éditeur scientifique ; Jeffrey F. Kelly, Éditeur scientifique ; Felix Liechti, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Cham, Switzerland : Springer Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 497 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-319-68576-2 Note générale : Soft re-print of the Hardcover 1st ed. 2017; DOI:10.1007/978-3-319-68576-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Atmosphere  Fauna  Animal physiology  Dispersion  Flight  Behavioural ecology Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : This book consists of a diverse collection of chapters that seeks to broaden our fundamental understanding of the ecological function and biological importance of the Earth's lower atmosphere, which provides a huge living space for billions of animals moving within and across continents. Their migration, dispersal and foraging activities connect water and land habitats within and across continents. Drawing upon the wide-ranging experience of the authors, the book takes an inherently interdisciplinary approach that serves to introduce the reader to the topic of aeroecology, frame some of the basic biological questions that can be addressed within the context of aeroecology, and highlight several existing and emerging technologies that are being used to promote aeroecological studies. The book begins with several background chapters, that provide introduction into such topics as atmospheric science, the concept of the habitat, animal physiology, and methods of navigation. It then continues with a broad discussion of observational methods available to and used by aeroecologists. Finally, several targeted examples of aeroecological studies are presented. Following the development of the chapters, the reader is provided with a unifying framework for investigating how the dynamic properties of meteorological conditions at local, regional, and global scales affect the organisms that depend on the air for foraging and movement. Material presented in the book should be of interest to anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive understanding of the aerosphere itself and the myriad airborne organisms that inhabit and depend upon this environment for their existence. The material should be accessible to a diverse set of readers at all stages of training and across a range of research expertise.

Avian urban ecology: behavioural and physiological adaptations / Diego Gil (2014)  

Public ISBD Titre : Avian urban ecology: behavioural and physiological adaptations Type de document : livre Auteurs : Diego Gil, Éditeur scientifique ; Henrik Brumm, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 217 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-966157-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal ecology  Birds  Behaviour  Adaptation  Animal physiology  Urban areas  Case studies Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the effect this has on wildlife. Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural counterparts. This accessible text focuses on the behavioural and physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the evolutionary process that ensues. It discusses topics such as acoustics, reproductive cues, disease, and artificial feeding, and includes a series of case studies illustrating cutting edge research on these areas. Avian Urban Ecology is suitable for professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation. It will also be of relevance and use to a more general audience of urban ecologists and conservation biologists. Readership: Professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation. A secondary market will exist amongst a more general audience of urban ecologists and conservation biologists.

Physiological ecology: how animals process energy, nutrients, and toxins / Karasov, W.H. ; del Rio, C.M. (2007)  

Public ISBD Titre : Physiological ecology: how animals process energy, nutrients, and toxins Type de document : livre Auteurs : Karasov, W.H. ; del Rio, C.M. Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 741 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-07453-4 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 06/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal metabolism  Animal physiology  Ecophysiology  Physiology Résumé : Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarify the consequences of global climate change, the biodiversity crisis, and pollution--often find themselves wading through an unwieldy, technically top-heavy literature. Here, William Karasov and Carlos Martínez del Rio present the first accessible and authoritative one-volume overview of the physiological and biochemical principles that shape how animals procure energy and nutrients and free themselves of toxins--and how this relates to broader ecological phenomena. After introducing primary concepts, the authors review the chemical ecology of food, and then discuss how animals digest and process food. Their broad view includes symbioses and extends even to ecosystem phenomena such as ecological stochiometry and toxicant biomagnification. They introduce key methods and illustrate principles with wide-ranging vertebrate and invertebrate examples. Uniquely, they also link the physiological mechanisms of resource use with ecological phenomena such as how and why animals choose what they eat and how they participate in the exchange of energy and materials in their biological communities.
