Biology, Ecology and Culture of Grey Mullets (Mugilidae)
Mullets (grey mullets) are a family (Mugilidae) and order of ray-finned fish found in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. There are approximately 80 species of mullet; these fish have been considered an important food source in Mediterranean Europe since Roman times. This book provides a long overdue update on the biology and ecology of mullet
BIODIVERSIDADE URBANA: dinâmicas e conservação
A crescente transformação das paisagens naturais em paisagens urbanas provoca grande preocupação dos ecologistas no tocante à conservação da biodiversidade. Em conformidade com os objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável da Organização das Nações Unidas, as cidades devem ser espaços sustentáveis que promovam a conservação da vida terrestre e aquática que estão sob o seu domínio político-administrativo. Para que as cidades construam políticas públicas efetivas para a conservação dos ecossistemas e das suas espécies e formas de vida, é preciso conhecer como a diversidade biológica habita e interage com os espaços urbanos. Desta forma, a presente obra reúne estudos que, estrategicamente, podem contribuir com a compressão deste cenário.
SISTEMAS NATURAIS ANTROPIZADOS: desafios à conservação da biodiversidade
Os sistemas naturais são constantemente afetados pelas atividades antrópicas, pois abrangem ecossistemas terrestres e aquáticos, interferindo nos processos físicos, químicos e biológicos nas escalas espacial e temporal. Dessa forma, tais alterações impactam os seres humanos pela redução da qualidade ambiental e da biodiversidade. Nos capítulos desse livro são tratados temas atuais através de abordagens teóricas, pontos de vista e metodologias para a detecção e mitigação de impactos que abrangem aos efeitos das atividades humanas sobre biodiversidade, fornecendo subsídios para estudantes, professores e gestores.
Encyclopedia of Estuaries
The Encyclopedia of Estuaries, part of Springer's Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series, provides a single, state-of-the-art, comprehensive reference volume on estuaries for research scientists, educators, students, and others. Consisting of almost 270 subject entries in an easy-to-use format, this volume covers the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of estuaries. In total more than 225 authors from around the world have contributed to the encyclopedia on such diverse subjects as biotic communities, essential habitats, food webs, fisheries, hydrology, pollution, conservation, and many more. The Encyclopedia of Estuaries will meet the needs of professionals worldwide by supplying detailed information from world-class estuarine and marine scientists as well as experts from other fields of study.
Marine Community Ecology
Marine Community Ecology was written to give advanced undergraduate and graduate students a current overview of what is known about the structure and organization of the assemblages of organisms that live on the sea floor. Each of the nineteen chapters is written by leading researchers to give students a look at our understanding of these communities, and what remains to be learned about them. The book is organized into three parts. The first eight chapters explore general processes that generate pattern in benthic communities. These introductory chapters examine how physical and biological forces interacting with historical and genetic constraints operate to structure marine communities. Th...
Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication
The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) represent the first ever international instrument dedicated to small-scale fisheries. They represent a global consensus on principles and guidance for small-scale fisheries governance and development. They were developed for small-scale fisheries in close collaboration with representatives of small-scale fisheries organizations in a participatory process between 2011-13, involving over 4000 stakeholders; facilitated by FAO, based on a mandate by COFI. They are directed at all those involved in the sector and intend to guide and encourage governments, fishing communities and other stakeholders to work together and ensure secure and sustainable small-scale fisheries for the benefit of small-scale fishers, fish workers and their communities as well as for society at large.
Fruit Fly Pests
A book of national and international importance, Fruit Fly Pests is an exhaustive compendium of information (with data provided by more than 100 contributors) that will appeal to a wide variety of readers. With huge losses experienced annually from fruit fly devastation, information on these high-profile insects is important to commercial fruit and vegetable growers, marketing exporters, government regulatory agencies, and the scientific community. Fruit flies impose a considerable resource tax, and the ones who suffer range from shippers to end users. The demand for world-wide plant protection requires up-to-date research information. This book meets that need. This book contains the proceedings from the most recent International Symposium on Fruit Flies of Economic Importance. Here you will find the major presentations given at the symposium, with an added feature - overviews from experts on topics not covered directly by participants in the symposium, filling in gaps in the current literature. The resulting publication is the most up-to-date and readable text to be found anywhere on the subject of tephritids.
The Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines
In June 2014, FAO member-states endorsed the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines). These Guidelines are one of the most significant landmarks for small-scale fisheries around the world. They are comprehensive in terms of topics covered, and progressive, with their foundations based on human rights and other key principles. It can be anticipated that implementing the SSF Guidelines, whether at local, national, or regional levels, will be challenging. This book contains in-depth case studies where authors discuss the extent to which the Guidelines can help improve the realities of small-scale fishing men and women globally and make their liveliho...
