Wading Birds and Their Allies of North America
Author: Jean Seavey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781892772022
Category : Ciconiiformes
Languages : en
Pages : 6
Book Description
Contains all of the continent's (north of Mexico) long-legged wading birds that might be found in fresh or saltwater marshes. In addition, other species (their 'allies') commonly found in association with them that also feed in water are included. The guide recognises that some bird watchers are just beginning and others are more advanced. Accordingly, it tries to provide something for all levels. Armed with the knowledge from this guide the more serious birdwatcher will be able to recognise and identify unusual variations of birds not found in most guides.

Invertebrates in Freshwater Wetlands
Author: Darold Batzer
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319249789
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 645
Book Description
Wetlands are among the world’s most valuable and most threatened habitats, and in these crucially important ecosystems, the invertebrate fauna holds a focal position. Most of the biological diversity in wetlands is found within resident invertebrate assemblages, and those invertebrates are the primary trophic link between lower plants and higher vertebrates (e.g. amphibians, fish, and birds). As such, most scientists, managers, consultants, and students who work in the world’s wetlands should become better informed about the invertebrate components in their habitats of interest. Our book serves to fill this need by assembling the world’s most prominent ecologists working on freshwater wetland invertebrates, and having them provide authoritative perspectives on each the world’s most important freshwater wetland types. The initial chapter of the book provides a primer on freshwater wetland invertebrates, including how they are uniquely adapted for life in wetland environments and how they contribute to important ecological functions in wetland ecosystems. The next 15 chapters deal with invertebrates in the major wetlands across the globe (rock pools, alpine ponds, temperate temporary ponds, Mediterranean temporary ponds, turloughs, peatlands, permanent marshes, Great Lakes marshes, Everglades, springs, beaver ponds, temperate floodplains, neotropical floodplains, created wetlands, waterfowl marshes), each chapter written by groups of prominent scientists intimately knowledgeable about the individual wetland types. Each chapter reviews the relevant literature, provides a synthesis of the most important ecological controls on the resident invertebrate fauna, and highlights important conservation concerns. The final chapter synthesizes the 15 habitat-based chapters, providing a macroscopic perspective on natural variation of invertebrate assemblage structure across the world’s wetlands and a paradigm for understanding how global variation and environmental factors shape wetland invertebrate communities.

Tropical Wetland Management
Author: Antonio Augusto Rossotto Ioris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317006259
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Recent scientific development and politico-institutional experiences related to the conservation of the South-American Pantanal are explored in this book in relation to what is happening in other tropical wetland areas of international importance such as the Everglades in North America and the Okavango in Africa, as well as considering the European experience. An interdisciplinary group of authors examines the need to establish a constructive dialogue between scientists, policy-makers and local stakeholders and outline a future research agenda, including consideration of the impacts of climate change and the pressures of regional development, for wetland management.

Bird Families of North America
Author: Pete Dunne
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin
ISBN: 0358164079
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Focusing on families and their shared traits makes bird identification easier than ever. This guide takes readers beyond merely identifying birds to understanding them. Many birders can tell the difference between a White-eyed and Bell's Vireo but cannot begin to describe a vireo and what distinguishes members of this family from warblers or flycatchers. The "species by species" approach makes it difficult to appreciate birds for what they are: members of well-organized groupings united by common traits. Putting the focus on families, and their shared characteristics, makes bird identification easier and more meaningful. More than 150 color photos illustrate the 81 bird families of the United States and Canada.
