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.

The small size of the islands and the occurrence of past and recent anthropogenic impacts have caused a rapid erosion of its unique biodiversity. A series of multidisciplinary field trips were conducted between 2002 and 2004 by a small but dedicated team of scientists from French Polynesia, France and other countries, with the aim of providing baseline knowledge of the terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity needed for the sustainable management of natural resources, the conservation of threatened endemic species and native habitats.

Titre : Island biogeography: ecology, evolution, and conservation Type de document : livre Auteurs : Robert J. Whittaker ; Fernández-Palacios, J.M. Mention d'édition : 02 éd. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 407 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-856612-3 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et emprunté le 07/03/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aves Biogeography Climatic change Conservation Ecologie Ecology Environment Evolution Fauna Insecta Island Island biogeography Landscape Modèle Population dynamics Predation Succession Volcanoes Résumé : Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are ideal places for unique species to evolve, but they are also places of concentrated extinction. Not surprisingly, they are widely studied by ecologists, conservationists and evolutionary biologists alike. There is no other recent textbook devoted solely to island biogeography, and a synthesis of the many recent advances is now overdue. This second edition builds on the success and reputation of the first, documenting the recent advances in this exciting field and explaining how islands have been used as natural laboratories in developing and testing ecological and evolutionary theories. In addition, the book describes the main processes of island formation, development and eventual demise, and explains the relevance of island environmental history to island biogeography. The authors demonstrate the huge significance of islands as hotspots of biodiversity, and as places from which disproportionate numbers of species have been extinguished by human action in historical time. Many island species are today threatened with extinction, and this work examines both the chief threats to their persistence and some of the mitigation measures that can be put in play with conservation strategies tailored to islands.
