| 1998 | | Kart, F:15,7x23,6 cm, 348 S, zahlr. Zeichnungen, Grafiken, Tabellen. | WG: Buch | | The study of patterns and processes of evolution on islands has played an important role in the development of an understanding of how and why evolution occurs. Small, discrete pieces of the environment, islands are frequently isolated from the continental processes of gene flow and are thus inhabited by unique species. With such rapidily diversifying evolution, it is easy to see why islands have been referred to as 'natural experiments'. This unique book surveys our current knowledge and understanding of island evolution in several chapters written by experts in various aspects of microevolution, speciation, and adaptive radiation. | [E] | |

| 2000 | | Geb/SU, F:16x23,5 cm, 6´51 S, 63 Farbfotos, zwahlreiche weitere Zeichnungen, Tabellen, Karten. | WG: Buch | | Sumatra has recently seen a large number of agricultural, social and industrial developments, but the ecological impact of these has not been accurately measured. The biology of Sumatra and its surrounding islands is poorly known, and what information we do have is scattered amongst journals in several different languages. The Ecology of Sumatra has brought together nearly 1500 references relevant to the understanding of Sumatra's diverse ecosystems, and 1983's original edition has been updated with new fieldwork and a commentary on recent developments, as well as a new bibliography. | [E] | |

| 2004 | | Kart, F:19x24,5 cm, 213 S, zahlreiche Grafiken, Tabellen, s/w-Fotos. | WG: Buch | | For the inhabitants of many of the world's major towns and cities, estuaries provide their first and nearest glimpse of a natural habitat. Despite the attempts of man to pollute or reclaim it, the estuarine ecosystem continues to provide a fascinating insight into a natural world where energy is transformed from sunlight into plant material, and then through the steps of a food chain is converted into a rich food supply for birds and fish. The book provides a concise readable introduction to estuarine ecology. First published in 1981, it soon established itself as the principle textbook of choice in the UK & NW Europe. This new edition builds upon the strengths of the earlier editions but has been thoroughly revised throughout. The new co-author brings a human impact dimension to the revised book. It is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students (particularly taught masters) who have had a general ecology course, but no further training in estuarine science. It will be useful to both professional researchers and practical managers in marine ecology and environmental science who seek a compact but comprehensive introduction to estuarine ecology. | [E] | |

| 2001 | Nachdr. d. Ausg. 1999. | Kart, F:15,7x23,4 cm, 322 S, zahlr. Grafiken. | WG: Buch | | Metapopulation Ecology presents a comprehensive synthesis of current research in this rapidly expanding area of population biology, from an author who is world-famous for his ground-breaking work on metapopulations. It encompasses both the essential theory of metapopulations and a wide range of empirical studies - including the author's own unique research on the metapopulation biology of the Glanville fritillary butterfly - and includes discussion of practical applications to conservation biology. One of the hottest areas in ecology today, Metapopulation Biology is an important, state-of-the-art review of the field, and should have enormous impact. | [E] | |

| 2010 | Reprint der Ausgabe von 2007. | Kart, F:15,5x23,2 cm, 283 S, zahlreiche Zeichnungen, Grafiken, Schwarzweißfotos. | WG: Buch | | Mangroves and seagrasses form extensive and highly productive ecosystems that are biologically diverse and economically valuable. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to provide a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of the biology and ecology of mangroves and seagrasses, using a global range of examples. It deals with the adaptations of these plants to their exacting environment, the rich and diverse communities of organisms that depend on mangrove forests and seagrass meadows (including tree-climbing shrimps, synchronously flashing fireflies and 'gardening' seacows), the links between mangrove, seagrass, and other habitats, the evolution, biodiversity and biogeography of mangroves and seagrasses, and the likely effects of global climate change. The economic value of mangroves and seagrasses is also discussed, including approaches to rational management of these vital resources, and techniques for the restoration of degraded habitats. As with other titles in the Biology of Habitats Series, particular emphasis is placed on the organisms that dominate these aquatic environments although pollution, conservation and experimental aspects are also considered. The book is intended for students, naturalists and professionals and assumes no previous knowledge of mangrove or seagrass ecology. | [E] | Auch als gebundene Ausgabe lieferbar. |

| 04 2006 | | Geb (Lam Pp), F:16x24,2 cm, 284 S, 74 Zeichnungen, Tabellen, Grafiken. | WG: Buch | Das Werk diskutiert die Probleme des Überlebens kleiner Populationen, etwa auf Inseln, aufgrund der Ausbreitung und den Einfluß des Menschen, der die Lebensräume vieler Arten erheblich reduziert. Die Autoren haben Material über diese Problematik intensiv aufgearbeitet und bieten Lösungsansätze. Sie dokumentieren als Beispiel Ergebnisse einer dreißigjährigen Langzeitstudie an Unterarten und Variationen der Singammer (Melospiza melodia), die auf der Insel Mandarte an der Pazifiküste Britisch Kolumbiens eine ideale Forschungsgebiet für diese Fragestellung bieten. | This book explores the factors affecting the survival of small populations. As the human impact on Earth expands, populations of many wild species are being squeezed into smaller and smaller habitats. As a consequence, they face an increasing threat of extinction. National and international conservation groups rush to add these populations, species and sub-species to their existing endangered and threatened lists. In nations with strong conservation laws, listing often triggers elaborate plans to rescue declining populations and restore their habitats. The authors review these theoretical ideas, the existing data, and explore the question: how well do small and isolated populations actually perform? Their case study group is the song sparrows of Mandarte Island, British Columbia. This population is small enough and isolated enough so that all individuals can be uniquely marked and their survival and reproduction monitored over many generations. This is one of the strongest long-term ecological studies of a contained vertebrate population, now in its 31st year. | [E] | |

| 06 2005 | | Geb, F:18,9x24,6 cm, 320 S, 70 Zeichnungen, 10 Schwarzweißfotos, 8 Farbseiten. | WG: Buch | Das Werk stellt die Rolle und Beeinflussung der tropischen Wälder im Rahmen der globalen Klimaveränderungen ausführlich dar. | Tropical forests represent the world's most biodiverse ecosystems and play a key role in hydrology, carbon storage and exchange. Many of the human-induced pressures these regions are facing, e.g. fragmentation and deforestation, have been widely reported and well documented. However, there have been surprisingly few efforts to synthesize cutting-edge science in the area of tropical forest interaction with atmospheric change. At a time when our global atmosphere is undergoing a period of rapid change, both in terms of climate and in the cycling of essential elements such as carbon and nitrogen, a thorough and up-to-date analysis is now timely. This research level text, suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers in plant ecology, tropical forestry, climate change science, and conservation biology, explores the vigorous contemporary debate as to how rapidly tropical forests may be affected by atmospheric change, and what this may mean for their future. | [E] | |
