  • Recovering Biodiversity in Indian Forests

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book demonstrates how varying levels of human disturbance manifested through different management regimes influence composition, richness, diversity and abundance of key mammal, bird and plant species, even within ecologically similar habitats. Based on our results, we show the critical importance of the ‘wildlife preservation’ approach for effective biodiversity conservation. The study also ... Leer más

  • Evolution in the Dark

    Darwin's Loss Without Selection

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book provides fascinating insights into the development and genetics of evolutionary processes on the basis of animals living in the dark, such as the Astyanax cave fish.Biologically functionless traits show high variability, which results from neutral deleterious mutations no longer being eliminated by natural selection, which normally acts to preserve functional capability. These negative ... Leer más

  • Biodiversity and Evolution of Parasitic Life in the Southern Ocean

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The Southern Oceans including Antarctic regions are peculiar and very sensitive water biotopes, where animal life and species interrelations are only poorly investigated. Especially the influence of parasites on their host species needs intensive consideration in times of global warming and worldwide pollution. Both factors may influence the finely balanced interrelationships between parasites and ... Leer más

  • Biodiversity Conservation and Environmental Change

    Using palaeoecology to manage dynamic landscapes in the Anthropocene

    Ecosystems today are dynamic and complex, leaving conservationists faced with the paradox of conserving moving targets. New approaches to conservation are now required that aim to conserve ecological function and process, rather than attempt to protect static snapshots of biodiversity. To do this effectively, long-term information on ecosystem variability and resilience is needed. While there is a ... Leer más
