Female control: sexual selection by cryptic female choice / Eberhard, W.G. (1996)  

Public ISBD Titre : Female control: sexual selection by cryptic female choice Type de document : livre Auteurs : Eberhard, W.G. Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 1996 Collection : Monographs in behavior and ecology Importance : 501 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-01084-7 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Females  Physiological regulation  Reproduction  Reproductive behaviour  Sexual behaviour Résumé : A growing body of evidence has begun to reveal flaws in the traditional assumption of female passivity and lack of discrimination after copulation has begun. William Eberhard has compiled an impressive array of research on the ability of females to shape the outcome of mating. He describes studies of many different cryptic mechanisms by which a female can accept a male for copulation but nevertheless reject him as a father. Evidence from various fields indicates that such selectivity by females may be the norm rather than the exception. Because most post-copulatory competition between males for paternity is played out within the bodies of females, female behavior, morphology, and physiology probably often influence male success in these contests. Eberhard draws examples from a diversity of organisms, ranging from ctenophores to scorpions, nematodes to frogs, and crickets to humans. Cryptic female choice establishes a new bridge between sexual selection theory and reproductive physiology, in particular the physiological effects of male seminal products on female reproductive processes, such as sperm transport, oviposition, and remating. Eberhard interweaves his review of previous studies with speculation on the consequences of this theoretical development, and indicates promising new directions for future research.

Managed ecosystems and CO2: case studies, processes, and perspectives / Nösberger, J.(Ed.) (2006)

Public ISBD Titre : Managed ecosystems and CO2: case studies, processes, and perspectives Type de document : livre Auteurs : Nösberger, J.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; S. P. Long, Éditeur scientifique ; Norby, R.J.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Stitt, M.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Hendrey, G.R.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Blum, H.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Ecological studies, 187 Importance : 457 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-31236-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Carbon dioxide  Case studies  Ecosystems  Environmental impact  Physiological regulation Résumé : Managed ecosystems cover a large part of the Earth's land surface, provide almost all of our food and most of our wood and fibre, and are increasingly a source of renewable energy. Forecasting the ability of managed ecosystems to continue these vital roles in a globally changing environment is an inter-disciplinary challenge. To elucidate the complex responses of managed systems to elevated [CO2], several free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) facilities were established. These FACE systems allow large areas to be exposed to the elevated [CO2] we expect by the middle of the century. This volume summarizes the main findings from 13 experiments with annual crops, permanent pastures and plantation forests at 11 sites throughout the world during the past ten years. The results significantly alter our perception of how rising [CO2] will directly affect these managed ecosystems, with implications for policy, plant-breeding objectives and adaptation.
