Editeur : Strasbourg : Council of Europe Publishing Année de publication : 2003 Collection : Nature an environment, 131 Importance : 66 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-92-871-5115-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et emprunté le 29/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biological diversity  Transport Résumé : The Code of Practice for the Introduction of Biological and Landscape Diversity Considerations into the Transport Sector provides a practical instrument that will help national governments and others involved in the linear transport sector to consider and implement measures relating to the maintenance and enhancement of biological and landscape diversity. The Code sets a political and social framework and proposes policy options for the development of new, and the maintenance of existing linear transport systems in relation to biological and landscape diversity. By building on examples, the Code has developed a series of Practice Pointers.

Alpine biodiversity in Europe / L. Nagy (2003)  

Public ISBD Titre : Alpine biodiversity in Europe Type de document : livre Auteurs : L. Nagy, Éditeur scientifique ; GRABHERR, G., Éditeur scientifique ; C. Körner, Éditeur scientifique ; D. B. A. Thompson, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2003 Collection : Ecological Studies, 167 Importance : 477 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-00108-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biological diversity  Mountain ecology  Europe Résumé : This is the first ever European-wide overview of biodiversity in alpine areas. The volume draws together taxonomic, ecological, historical, functional and climatic studies to develop a holistic understanding of biodiversity at and above the treeline. The main themes are: plant, vegetation and animal diversity, altitude gradients and spatial patterns, long-term changes and the effects of herbivores on diversity. These themes are introduced by a geo-biological scene setting and by a novel characterisation of alpine bio-climate. The comparisons of current and long-term observations and data emphasise the historical tradition of alpine biodiversity research in Europe. Analyses of taxonomic and assembly data at the continent-wide scale provide insight into pattern and its historical and ecological causes.

A theory of global biodiversity / Boris Worm (2018)  

Public ISBD Titre : A theory of global biodiversity Type de document : livre Auteurs : Boris Worm, Auteur ; Derek P. Tittensor, Auteur Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2018 Collection : Monographs in population biology num. 60 Importance : 214 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-15483-1 Prix : 49.95 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biological diversity  Evolution  Ecology  Biodiversity conservation Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : The number of species found at a given point on the planet varies by orders of magnitude, yet large-scale gradients in biodiversity appear to follow some very general patterns. Little mechanistic theory has been formulated to explain the emergence of observed gradients of biodiversity both on land and in the oceans. Based on a comprehensive empirical synthesis of global patterns of species diversity and their drivers, A Theory of Global Biodiversity develops and applies a new theory that can predict such patterns from few underlying processes. The authors show that global patterns of biodiversity fall into four consistent categories, according to where species live: on land or in coastal, pelagic, and deep ocean habitats. The fact that most species groups, from bacteria to whales, appear to follow similar biogeographic patterns of richness within these habitats points toward some underlying structuring principles. Based on empirical analyses of environmental correlates across these habitats, the authors combine aspects of neutral, metabolic, and niche theory into one unifying framework. Applying it to model terrestrial and marine realms, the authors demonstrate that a relatively simple theory that incorporates temperature and community size as driving variables is able to explain divergent patterns of species richness at a global scale. Integrating ecological and evolutionary perspectives, A Theory of Global Biodiversity yields surprising insights into the fundamental mechanisms that shape the distribution of life on our planet.

Biodiversity / Lévêque, C. ; Mounolou, Jean Claude (2003)  

Public ISBD Titre : Biodiversity Type de document : livre Auteurs : Lévêque, C. ; Mounolou, Jean Claude Editeur : Chichester, U.K. : Wiley Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 284 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-470-84957-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity conservation  Biological diversity Résumé : The title provides an overview of the current knowledge about the diversity of the living world and the various problems associated with its conservation and sustainable use. Covering both the fundamentals of the subject, along with the latest research, Biodiversity presents key conservation issues within a framework of global case studies. Starting with a summary of the concept of biodiversity, the text then explores such subjects as species richness, ecological systems, the consequences of human activities, diversity and human health, genetic resources, biotechnology and conservation.
