Titre : The sensory ecology of birds Type de document : livre Auteurs : Graham R. Martin, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2017 Collection : Oxford avian biology num. 3 Importance : 296 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-969454-9 Note générale : DOI:10.1093/oso/9780199694532.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Birds Animal ecology Behaviour Sensory receptors Collisions Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : Birds are renowned for their exceptional vision and the way that this enables them to survive and navigate the world in such a unique way. However, it is now recognised that avian behaviour is guided by information drawn from many different senses which are then used in integrated and complementary ways to answer the many different sensory challenges posed by specific environments and particular tasks. Understanding how sensory information is used by birds has important applications in conservation, such as providing vital insights into why birds are prone to collisions with structures like power lines and wind turbines, and why so many diving birds become entrapped in nets. A sensory ecology approach suggests how these problems can be mitigated. 'The Sensory Ecology of Birds' ranges widely across species, environments, and behaviours to present a synthesis that challenges previous assumptions about the information that controls the behaviour of birds. A bird may use a wide range and combination of sensory information that comes from sight, hearing, smell, mechanoreception, taste, and magnetoreception. It may also include specific refinements of senses, such as echolocation and remote touch from the bill. The book recognises that there are many complex and subtle trade-offs and complementarities of information between different types of sensory information. This accessible text will be of interest to a wide ornithological readership, from undergraduates to researchers as well as a broader audience of behavioural ecologists and evolutionary biologists.

Titre : Floral mimicry Type de document : livre Auteurs : Steven D. Johnson, Auteur ; Florian P. Schiestl, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 176 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-873270-9 Note générale : DOI: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198732693.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Behaviour Plant ecology Adaptation Chemical ecology Pollination Speciation Résumé : La 4e de couv. indique : Mimicry is a classic example of adaptation through natural selection. The traditional focus of mimicry research has been on defence in animals, but there is now also a highly-developed and rapidly-growing body of research on floral mimicry in plants. This has coincided with a revolution in genomic tools, making it possible to explore which genetic and developmental processes underlie the sometimes astonishing changes that give rise to floral mimicry. Being literally rooted to one spot, plants have to cajole animals into acting as couriers for their pollen. Floral mimicry encompasses a set of evolutionary strategies whereby plants imitate the food sources, oviposition sites, or mating partners of animals in order to exploit them as pollinators. This first definitive book on floral mimicry discusses the functions of visual, olfactory, and tactile signals, integrating them into a broader theory of organismal mimicry that will help guide future research in the field. It addresses the fundamental question of whether the evolutionary and ecological principles that were developed for protective mimicry in animals can also be applied to floral mimicry in plants. The book also deals with the functions of floral rewardlessness, a condition which often serves as a precursor to the evolution of mimicry in plant lineages. The authors pay particular attention to the increasing body of research on chemical cues: their molecular basis, their role in cognitive misclassification of flowers by pollinators, and their implications for plant speciation.

Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 231 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-875737-5 Prix : 37.50 GBP Note générale : Voir aussi la 1ère édition originale de 2013 en français à la cote 69220/16 (Diversité fonctionnelle des plantes : traits des organismes, structure des communautés, propriété des écosystèmes, Ed. De Boeck) Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Plant communities Biodiversity Plant ecology Plant response Plant structure Résumé : Biological diversity, the variety of living organisms on Earth, is traditionally viewed as the diversity of taxa, and species in particular. However, other facets of diversity also need to be considered for a comprehensive understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes. This novel book demonstrates the advantages of adopting a functional approach to diversity in order to improve our understanding of the functioning of ecological systems and their components. The focus is on plants, which are major components of these systems, and for which the functional approach has led to major scientific advances over the last 20 years.
Plant Functional Diversity presents the rationale for a trait-based approach to functional diversity in the context of comparative plant ecology and agroecology. It demonstrates how this approach can be used to address a number of highly debated questions in plant ecology pertaining to plant responses to their environment, controls on plant community structure, ecosystem properties, and the services these deliver to human societies. This research level text will be of particular relevance and use to graduate students and professional researchers in plant ecology, agricultural sciences and conservation biology.En ligne : https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198757368.001.0001 [...] Plant functional diversity: organism traits, community structure, and ecosystem properties [livre] / Eric Garnier, Auteur ; Marie-Laure Navas, Auteur ; Karl Grigulis, Auteur . - 1st ed. . - New York : Oxford University Press, NY, 2016 . - 231 p.

Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 279 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-967719-1 Note générale : 1st ed. publ. 2014, corrected 2015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal ecology Migration Flight Adaptation Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Movement, dispersal, and migration on land, in the air, and in water, are pervading features of animal life. They are performed by a huge variety of organisms, from the smallest protozoans to the largest whales, and can extend over widely different distance scales, from the microscopic to global. Integrating the study of movement, dispersal, and migration is crucial for a detailed understanding of the spatial scale of adaptation, and for analysing the consequences of landscape and climate change as well as of invasive species. This novel book adopts a broad, cross-taxonomic approach to animal movement across both temporal and spatial scales, addressing how and why animals move, and in what ways they differ in their locomotion and navigation performance. Written by an integrated team of leading researchers, the book synthesizes our current knowledge of the genetics of movement, including gene flow and local adaptations, whilst providing a future perspective on how patterns of animal migration may change over time together with their potential evolutionary consequences. Novel technologies for tracking the movement of organisms across scales are also discussed, ranging from satellite devices for tracking global migrations to nanotechnology that can follow animals only a millimetre in size.
Animal Movement Across Scales is particularly suitable for graduate level students taking courses in spatial animal ecology, animal migration, and 'movement ecology', as well as providing a source of fresh ideas and opinions for those already active within the field. It will also be of interest and use to a broader audience of professional biologists interested in animal movements and migrations.En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/animal-movement-across-scales-9780199677 [...] Animal movement across scales [livre] / Lars-Anders Hansson, Éditeur scientifique ; Susanne Akesson, Éditeur scientifique . - 1st ed. 2014 with corr. . - New York : Oxford University Press, NY, 2015 . - 279 p.
