A Biography of Life: The Story of Life On Our Planet through 47 Incredible Organisms

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.

Mountain Sheep in North America provides a detailed account of bighorn and thinhorn sheep across their geographic range from Alaska and Canada to Mexico. The book examines all aspects of life histories, including activity patterns; biology; conservation; diet; ecology; genetics; habitat requirements; health and disease; historical perspectives; management approaches; predation; competition with other species; natural history; social behavior; taxonomy; the changing role of agency, Indigenous, and conservation stakeholders; and the considerations for future management actions, opportunities, and conservation risks. The book describes advancements in new technologies supported by current science, disproving some long-held assumptions about the species and their ecology, making it the most comprehensive source of information about mountain sheep in North America today. It offers every reader a better understanding of the management of mountain sheep, and the numerous challenges of a developing world that includes anthropogenic influences, altered habitats, species assemblages, and changing climates. Each chapter is written by internationally recognized experts and practicing mountain sheep managers from agencies and academia. New research is presented within broader shifts in conservation policy and funding, helping readers understand the practical implications of evolving science in real-world situations and offering wisdom that will help them create positive conservation outcomes for mountain sheep.This is an essential text for students of wildlife, early-career and experienced biologists, managers, policy and decision makers, administrators, and anyone interested in mountain sheep in our world today, including those who are simply passionate about them. This book will provide even the most knowledgeable mountain sheep enthusiast with an improved understanding of this magnificent wildlife resource.

Concepts in Reproduction integrates the principal mechanisms of reproduction among eukaryotes, with a focus on animals and plants. The text emphasizes processes and approaches that evolved to address specific problems inherent in reproduction using examples from morphology, functional studies, and genetic studies. The many high-quality figures complement the text and provide visual storyboards. Footnotes and boxes are used throughout to provide depth and to enrich understanding. Information is compartmentalized to guide new readers through complex material while offering in-depth coverage of significant and impactful topics for experts.Key Features¿ Accessibility for a broad audience, using figures that complement the text to explain key concepts and mechanisms ¿ Integrative presentation that emphasizes the science behind the story¿ Breadth of coverage to promote comparative thought¿ Rich multiple-choice questions that span the contentConcepts in Reproduction is recommended for advanced undergraduate students, new graduate students, and investigators or clinicians seeking breadth in their knowledge in the field. The book provides foundational knowledge of fertilization, gametogenesis, primordial germ cell formation, and ontogeny of reproductive organs. Key principles of developmental biology, genetics, endocrinology, protein biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology are included to tell holistic stories of reproduction among eukaryotes. Later chapters tackle how the field applies these findings to address societal issues.

An imaginative history of the Kankakee River, told in reverse chronological order, that examines the ecological losses caused as people transformed the river and its wetlands &nbsp; The Kankakee River, whose waters gathered west of present-day South Bend, Indiana, and meandered through the loose sediment left by Pleistocene glaciers, used to drain one of the largest wetlands in North America. In its prime, it had hundreds of bends and spilled everywhere, generating hundreds of thousands of acres of permanent and semipermanent marshes brimming with life. This landscape amazed, entertained, and fed human beings for centuries until a small group of reformers usurped the waters and drained them in a matter of decades. By 1917, steam dredges had cut through the bends of the river; ditches and underground drain tiles emptied the marshes. A fascinating and vibrant place was thus transformed into a monotonous and forgettable one. &nbsp; Jon T. Coleman travels backward through time to recover the grandeur of the Kankakee River and its wetlands, asking why American settlers would dismantle an environment in which they delighted. Starting in the present, Coleman unwinds the history of the Kankakee, offering a wide-ranging and imaginative look at what was lost when the Kankakee was transformed, in a narrative that challenges our ideas about time and inevitability.
