Аннотация: "This book is the first and only comprehensive guide to the snakes of Central and Western Africa. In North America, field guides are taken for granted, but for much of the world these guides don't exist. In many high biodiversity areas of the third world, even the specialist is stumped by many specimens. Jean-Philippe Chippaux and Kate Jackson have a combined half-century of experience studying these snakes in the field. Covering identification, evolution, behavior, and occurrence, Snakes of Central and Western Africa also features maps, photos, and drawings for each species to aid in identification. Each year 20,000 people die from snake bites in Africa, and this problem can only worsen with the increasing human presence in these habitats. While poverty, transportation, and the availability of medical care are all problems that must be addressed, a sound knowledge of the species is the necessary first step. An essential read, which, ultimately, can save lives"--

Аннотация: Fish are one of the most important global food sources, supplying a significant share of the world's protein consumption. From stocks of wild Alaskan salmon and North Sea cod to entire fish communities with myriad species, fisheries require careful management to ensure that stocks remain productive, and mathematical models are essential tools for doing so. Fish Ecology, Evolution, and Exploitation is an authoritative introduction to the modern size- and trait-based approach to fish populations and communities.Ken Andersen covers the theoretical foundations, mathematical formulations, and real-world applications of this powerful new modeling method, which is grounded in the latest ecological theory and population biology. He begins with fundamental assumptions on the level of individuals and goes on to cover population demography and fisheries impact assessments. He shows how size- and trait-based models shed new light on familiar fisheries concepts such as maximum sustainable yield and fisheries selectivity--insights that classic age-based theory can't provide--and develops novel evolutionary impacts of fishing. Andersen extends the theory to entire fish communities and uses it to support the ecosystem approach to fisheries management, and forges critical links between trait-based methods and evolutionary ecology.Accessible to ecologists with a basic quantitative background, this incisive book unifies the thinking in ecology and fisheries science and is an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to apply size- and trait-based models to fish demography, fisheries impact assessments, and fish evolutionary ecology.
