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.

Titre : Animal movement across scales Type de document : livre Auteurs : Lars-Anders Hansson, Éditeur scientifique ; Susanne Akesson, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. 2014 with corr. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 279 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-967719-1 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.

Titre : On the wing: insects, pterosaurs, birds, bats and the evolution of animal flight Type de document : livre Auteurs : David E. Alexander, Auteur ; Sara L. Taliaferro, Illustrateur ; Sara L. Taliaferro Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 210 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-999677-3 Prix : 29.95 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behaviour Flight Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : From airplanes to birds, the phenomenon of flight has always amazed and mystified humans. Therefore, it is unsurprising that scientists have invested a substantial amount of research into unraveling the secrets of flight evolution. Over the course of the past decade, the science of flight evolution has recently experienced a research renaissance, most of the information has been confined to the ivory tower of academia.
In On the Wing, David Alexander delves into the evolution of flight in each of the four animal groups that evolved powered flight: insects, pterosaurs, birds, and bats. Alexander presents and compares each group's evolutionary history, including diversification and partial or complete extinction, especially as related to flight. The evolution of flight in animals is fascinating story riddled with scientific controversy and colorful characters, from the incredible Archaeopteryx to the recently-discovered feathered dinosaur Microraptor. Chapter topics include aerodynamics, comparisons and contrasts among the powered flyers, and the ultimate evolution away from flight. Alexander even examines the surprisingly diverse group of gliding animals, including squirrels, snakes, and ants.
Through rigorous yet accessible writing, Alexander offers a comprehensive and engaging account of the evolution of flight, from dinosaurs to modern birds. On the Wing will delight and inform everyone from bird lovers to dinosaur enthusiasts, and offers key insights into the perpetual mystery of flight.En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/on-the-wing-9780199996773 On the wing: insects, pterosaurs, birds, bats and the evolution of animal flight [livre] / David E.

Titre : The evolution of sex determination Type de document : livre Auteurs : Leo W. Beukeboom, Auteur ; Nicolas Perrin, Auteur Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 222 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-875367-4 Prix : 65.00 GBP Note générale : First publ. 2014, first publ. in paperback 2015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Genetics Evolution Reproduction Sex determination Selection Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Genetic mechanisms for the determination and differentiation of the two sexes are diverse and evolutionary labile. This book synthesizes the contemporary literature on patterns and processes of sex determination evolution. The first chapter introduces definitions and concepts of sexual reproduction. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive classification of sex-determination systems and describes the diversity of sexual cycles across eukaryote lineages, from excavates to mammals. Subsequent chapters detail the molecular mechanisms and quantitative genetics of sex determination (Chapters 3 and 4), examine the processes of sex-chromosome evolution (Chapter 5), and discuss life-history consequences of sex-determination systems (Chapter 6). The final chapter addresses the evolutionary processes responsible for the diversity and turnover in sex determination (Chapter 7). The book provides an overview of different sex-determination systems and details of its molecular regulation in fungi, plants, and animals, many of which are covered in separate text boxes and figures. It is argued that sex determination and primary sex differentiation cannot be regarded as separate processes and that the traditional dichotomous view of genotypic (GSD) and environmental (ESD) sex determination is no longer accurate. Ample documentation is provided about how sex determination affects, and is affected by, various forms of sexual conflict, sexual selection, and speciation. The book makes clear that sex-determination evolution will remain a highly dynamic field of research in the future.

Titre : Avian urban ecology: behavioural and physiological adaptations Type de document : livre Auteurs : Diego Gil, Éditeur scientifique ; Henrik Brumm, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 217 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-966157-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal ecology Birds Behaviour Adaptation Animal physiology Urban areas Case studies Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the effect this has on wildlife. Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural counterparts. This accessible text focuses on the behavioural and physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the evolutionary process that ensues. It discusses topics such as acoustics, reproductive cues, disease, and artificial feeding, and includes a series of case studies illustrating cutting edge research on these areas. Avian Urban Ecology is suitable for professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation. It will also be of relevance and use to a more general audience of urban ecologists and conservation biologists. Readership: Professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation. A secondary market will exist amongst a more general audience of urban ecologists and conservation biologists.
