Titre : Pleistocene amphibians and reptiles in Britain and Europe Type de document : livre Auteurs : Holman, J.Alan, Auteur Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 1998 Collection : Oxford monographs on geology and geophysics; 38 Importance : 254 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-511232-0 Note générale : ISBN-10 : 0-19-511232-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Amphibians,Fossil Great Britain Paleontology PLEISTOCENE Reptiles,Fossil Europe Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The Pleistocene epoch or Ice Age, an extended period of advancing and retreating ice sheets, is characterized by striking climatic oscillations and sea level fluctuations. This age saw the rise and spread of humans and a great extinction of large mammals by the end of the epoch; in fact, the world today is essentially the product of dramatic changes that took place in the Pleistocene. This book, a companion to the author’s Pleistocene Amphibians and Reptiles in North America, discusses the Pleistocene amphibians and reptiles in Britain and the European continent eastward through present-day Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the Yugoslavian republics, and Greece. The book begins with a general discussion of the Pleistocene in Britain and Europe with an emphasis on regional terms used to define Pleistocene chronological events. Next, a look at the pre-Pleistocene herpetofauna of the study area sets the stage for a discussion of Pleistocene herpetofauna. A significant section of the book consists of a “bestiary,” a series of annotated taxonomic accounts of Pleistocene herpetological taxa from the region. Following this is the interpretive section, beginning with a discussion of herpetological species as paleoenvironmental indicators and continuing with an analysis of herpetological population adjustments to Pleistocene events in Britain and Europe, and then with a discussion of extinction patterns in the region. Finally, the author compares Pleistocene herpetological events in Europe with those in North America. This volume and its companion together provide an up-to-date and comprehensive review of Pleistocene herpetofaunas across a significant portion of the Northern Hemisphere.

Titre : Atlas of the millipedes (Diplopoda) of Britain and Ireland Type de document : livre Auteurs : Lee, P., Auteur Editeur : Sofia : Pensoft Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Faunistica; 59 Importance : 216 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-954-642-277-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Atlas Diplopoda Geographical distribution Great Britain Identification Ireland Résumé : This publication is the culmination of more than 30 years of data collection by over 500 naturalists throughout Britain and Ireland, especially those members of the British Myriapod and Isopod Group and its predecessor, the British Myriapod Group. From its outset the British Myriapod Survey established a system for the collection of ecological information alongside distribution records. This approach was unique to the Myriapod and Isopod Survey recording schemes and only now is its value being recognised by other invertebrate recording schemes. It has enabled the production of an atlas based on more than 47 000 records that is so much more than a simple collection of distribution maps for the 62 species of millipede found in Britain. Analysis of the ecological data provided for almost 80% of the species records provides an insight into the habitat preferences of this important but undervalued group of animals. The results should be of interest to a much wider audience than the committed myriapodologists. The inclusion of colour photographs within this publication also marks a new departure for the BRC series of atlases. It may be somewhat surprising that a work on millipedes is the first to show this innovation. In contrast to birds, butterflies or beetles, millipedes are not often pictured in books and to the general naturalist or layman the reasons are self evident. However, the fascinating body forms and ornamentation and the often attractive colour patterns exhibited by the species illustrated in this book should finally discredit such misconceptions; millipedes can be beautiful!

Poyser Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 884 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7136-6514-7 Note générale : Published for British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Migration Birds Great Britain Ireland Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : This landmark publication presents the most up-to-date information on bird migration, using the vast wealth of data that the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) have collected from ringing recoveries. Since the ringing programme began in 1909, there have been around half a million recoveries of birds ringed in the UK and the data yielded has enabled the BTO to build up a picture of the movements of around 200 migratory species. This volume details the ringing scheme, migration ecology and study methods and contains detailed texts for individual species, written by experts on their movement. It also critically examines the potential biases in the ringing-recovery informaton caused by ringing and finding circumstances.
