Cognitive Maps, Research Approaches, and Insights

Algae Classification and Species delivers a detailed overview of freshwater and marine algal diversity. It provides an essential introduction to the study of phycology with broad applications in diverse biological and biotechnological fields. Written and edited by a global team of experts in the field of phycology, this book is organized according to major algal taxa, including green, red, and brown macroalgae, benthic and planktonic algae, blue-green algae, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and microalgae. Chapters are structured to provide readers with a sweeping understanding of the breadth of marine algae, including their principal characteristics, evolution, phylogeny, distribution, preservation, and more. This book is designed to provide a complete, legible review of algal diversity. It is a valuable resource for researchers, biotechnologists, and students interested in developing their understanding of basic algal biology.

A comprehensive overview of the behavioral ecology of a highly social group of North American mammalsBest known for their large colonies, complex burrows, and frequent alarm calls, prairie dogs are diurnal, herbivorous rodents endemic to the grasslands of western North America. Prairie Dogs synthesizes forty-five consecutive years of John Hoogland's pioneering field research on the ecology and social behavior of these remarkable animals, including many far-reaching discoveries published here for the first time. Hoogland investigates all four species of prairie dogs that inhabit the western United States, offering invaluable insights about cooperation and competition among social animals living under natural conditions. He examines topics ranging from alarm calls, mating, predation, and vigilance to conservation, dispersal, population dynamics, and potential avenues for future research. Hoogland presents a wealth of new findings, describing how prairie dogs give alarm calls not only for offspring but also for more distant kin such as nieces, nephews, and first cousins. He documents how females reap substantial benefits from copulating with more than one male; how they avoid incest with offspring, parents, and siblings but regularly copulate with more distant kin; how nonparental infanticide is a major cause of juvenile mortality and varies directly with colony density; and how females of one species improve reproductive success by killing nearby ground squirrels. Rich in personal stories and comparisons with more than five hundred other species ranging from amoebas to humans, this beautifully illustrated book is essential reading for behavioral ecologists and conservation biologists as well as mammalogists and curious naturalists. Hoogland's magnum opus offers a master class in how to do careful long-term research.

A hands-on approach to understanding the impact of local and global stresses on ecosystems Ecotoxicology: A Case-based Approach follows a "learning by doing" approach, building a deeper understanding of this multi-faceted discipline through the guided analysis of five carefully selected case studies that between them address both local and global anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem structure and function. The book is divided into three sections. Section I covers the definition, history and methodology of ecotoxicology. Section II comprises five case studies, each detailing a selected anthropogenic stress, showing how the ecotoxicological approach has been used to explain its environmental impact and by doing so has provided mitigation and restoration strategies. The final section highlights future directions of ecotoxicology. To aid in reader learning, each chapter includes a test bank and reading list for further study. Written by a highly experienced instructor with more than 30 years of studying and teaching the subject, Ecotoxicology includes case studies on: <ul> <li>Acid rain in the past and in the present</li> <li>Finfish and shellfish aquaculture</li> <li>The tar sands of Canada, as an example of the consequences of oil and gas extraction</li> <li>The release of toxic metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium, and the dumping of chemical wastes and other contaminants of concern in the Great Lakes area</li> </ul> Ecotoxicology: A Case-based Approach is an essential guide for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students in ecology and environmental sciences, as well as professionals and policy makers concerned with the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.

Conserving Migratory Species: An Interdisciplinary Synthesis fills an important gap in biodiversity conservation literature by providing the first synthesis exclusively and explicitly dedicated to the conservation of migratory species. This book spans ecological and environmental management to sociology and international relations. Written by an international team of carefully assembled experts, this book is organized into key cross-cutting themes relating to migratory species conservation through an integrative approach across animal groups with a global scope. Migratory species have supported human survival for millennia, yet their future is in question due to human pressures. These include species that challenge our imagination through their amazing long-distance journeys, such as the bar-tailed godwit that flies from Alaska to New Zealand, as well as many that have contributed to human survival and economic activities, such as salmons that have underpinned the lives of Native Americans and the fishing industry in the North Pacific. This book explores the diversity of migratory animals, their importance to humans, their status, and threats, as well as what we can do to conserve them through on-ground actions orchestrated by governance approaches at various scales. Conserving Migratory Species: An Interdisciplinary Synthesis is an important resource for biodiversity and conservation researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and citizens around the world who endeavor to advance migratory species and their marvelous journeys.
