Places key concepts and issues from a diverse range of marine systems in a real world context. A modern perspective emphasizes those factors impacting upon the marine environment that are of global importance and concern to marine ecologists today. Online Resource Centre feature…
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus) are an iconic genus of anadromous fish whose decline over the last century has linked indigenous peoples, government agencies, fishers, advocates, and scientists in the common, albeit messy, cause of salmon recovery. While the history of ecology, an…
This project expands on the 4200-year history of Laguna Los Mangos by adding diatom analysis to existing records of pollen, charcoal, elemental composition, and stable light isotope analysis. Diatoms were counted in peroxide-treated samples, and data were analyzed using cluster …
For over a century, Sudbury (Ontario, Canada) has been a major copper-nickel metal smelter centre. Emissions of acidifying compounds and metal particulates beginning in the 1880s damaged thousands of lakes and watersheds in the region. Emission controls introduced in the 1960s a…
Methods in stream ecology
"In this revised and updated edition of the best-selling Methods in Stream Ecology, an international team of contributing authors describe the latest advances in the measurement, analysis, and assessment of stream ecosystems. This first volume of a two-volume series presents met…
"Archaeological data now show that relatively intense human adaptations to coastal environments developed much earlier than once believed - more than 125,000 years ago. With our oceans and marine fisheries currently in a state of crisis, coastal archaeological sites contain a we…
This text is divided into three parts. The first part describes basic toxicological concepts and methodologies used in aquatic toxicity testing, including the philosophies underlying testing strategies now required to meet and support regulatory standards. The second part of the…
"The Handbook of Ecological Indicators for Assessment of Ecosystem Health is the first comprehensive account and guidebook to ecological indicators for evaluating the health of a wide variety of ecosystems. It explains what is needed to apply the methods and indicators, includin…
Marine biology
by Ober, William C., Garrison, Claire W., Castro, Peter, Huber, Michael E.
Marine Biology covers the basics of marine biology with a global approach, using examples from numerous regions and ecosystems worldwide. This introductory, one-semester text is designed for non-majors. Authors Castro and Huber have made a special effort to include solid basic s…
The seasonal variation of anammox is yet to be comprehensively studied, unlike denitrification, the more traditional sink for fixed nitrogen. A seasonal study of anammox, denitrification and benthic oxygen consumption using the revised isotope pairing technique is presented in C…
In its third edition, this book demonstrates how the living systems modeling of aquatic ecosystems for ecological, biological and physiological research, and ecosystem restoration can produce answers to very complex ecological questions. This book further offers an understanding…
This book discusses new techniques for greatly increasing the recruitment, growth, survival, and resistance to stress of marine ecosystems, fisheries, and eroding shorelines, maintaining biodiversity and productivity where it would be lost. The book provides experimental proof t…
This book divides the aquatic realm into 21 ecosystems, from those on land (both saline and fresh water) to those of the open and deep oceans. It draws on the understanding of leading ecologists to summarise the state and likely condition by the year 2025 of each of the ecosyste…
