The ecology and evolution of ant-plant interactions / Rico-Gray, V. ; Oliveira, P.S. (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : The ecology and evolution of ant-plant interactions Type de document : livre Auteurs : Rico-Gray, V. ; Oliveira, P.S. Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 2007 Collection : Interspecific interactions Importance : 331 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-71348-9 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal-plant relationships  Ants  Evolution  Plant-animal interaction Résumé : Ants are probably the most dominant insect group on Earth, representing ten to fifteen percent of animal biomass in terrestrial ecosystems. Flowering plants, meanwhile, owe their evolutionary success to an array of interspecific interactions-such as pollination, seed dispersal, and herbivory-that have helped to shape their great diversity. The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions brings together findings from the scientific literature on the coevolution of ants and plants to provide a better understanding of the unparalleled success of these two remarkable groups, of interspecific interactions in general, and ultimately of terrestrial biological communities. The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions synthesizes the dynamics of ant-plant interactions, including the sources of variation in their outcomes. Victor Rico-Gray and Paulo S. Oliveira capture both the emerging appreciation of the importance of these interactions within ecosystems and the developing approaches that place studies of these interactions into a broader ecological and evolutionary context. The collaboration of two internationally renowned scientists, The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions will become a standard reference for understanding the complex interactions between these two taxa.

Pasoh: ecology of a lowland rain forest in Southeast Asia / Okuda, T.(Ed.) (2003)

Public ISBD Titre : Pasoh: ecology of a lowland rain forest in Southeast Asia Type de document : livre Auteurs : Okuda, T.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Manokaran, N.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Matsumoto, Y.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Niiyama, K.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Thomas, S.C.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique ; Ashton, P.S.(Ed.), Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Tokyo : Springer Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 628 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-4-431-00660-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity  Ecosystems  Plant population  Plant-animal interaction  Rain forest ecology  Vegetation structure Résumé : The Pasoh Forest Reserve in Malaysia is one of the most species-rich ecological systems on our planet. Since the 1970s it has been the site of intensive research on lowland tropical rain forest across a diverse range of disciplines including ecology, forestry, meteorology, and hydrology. Research has focused on biodiversity and sustainable management of tropical rain forests as well as the role of tropical rain forests in maintaining global climate and carbon sinks. This book compiles diverse studies of the ecology and natural history of the Pasoh Forest Reserve and focuses on six areas: Physical settings and environment, Vegetation structure, diversity, and dynamics, Plant population and functional biology, Animal ecology and biodiversity, Plant-animal interactions, and Anthropogenic impacts and forest management. This book is of interest to tropical forest researchers worldwide in ecology, conservation biology, taxonomy, and forestry.

Seed dispersal and frugivory: ecology, evolution and conservation / Levey, D.J.(Ed.) ; Silva, W.R.(Ed.) ; Galetti, M.(Ed.) (2002)

Editeur : New York : CABI Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 511 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-85199-525-0 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé et emprunté le 22/01/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Conservation  Crops  Ecology  Evolution  Frugivory  Plant-animal interaction  Seed dispersal Résumé : Until recently, the production of fruits by plants, their consumption by animals (frugivory) and the relevance of these to seed dispersal have attracted less attention than topics such as pollination biology. However, since the 1970s they have started to gain more prominence and now give rise to more research funding, seminal papers and international symposiums. This book contains chapters adapted from the Third International Symposium-Workshop on Frugivores and Seed Dispersal held in August 2000 in Rio Quente, Brazil.
