Evolution in Changing Environments Some Theoretical Explorations


Free Download Richard Levins, "Evolution in Changing Environments: Some Theoretical Explorations"
English | 1968 | ISBN: 0691080623, 0691079595 | PDF | pages: 134 | 10.3 mb
Professor Levins, one of the leading explorers in the field of integrated population biology, considers the mutual interpenetration and joint evolution of organism and environment, occurring on several levels at once. Physiological and behavioral adaptations to short-term fluctuations of the environment condition the responses of populations to long-term changes and geographic gradients. These in turn affect the way species divide the environments among themselves in communities, and, therefore, the numbers of species which can coexist. Environment is treated here abstractly as pattern: patchiness, variability, range, etc. Populations are studied in their patterns: local heterogeneity, geographic variability, faunistic diversity, etc.

Tropical Marine Environments of Brazil Spatio-Temporal Heterogeneities and Responses to Climate Changes


Free Download Tropical Marine Environments of Brazil: Spatio-Temporal Heterogeneities and Responses to Climate Changes by José Maria Landim Dominguez, Ruy Kenji Papa de Kikuchi, Moacyr Cunha de Araújo Filho, Ralf Schwamborn, Helenice Vital
English | PDF | 2023 | 278 Pages | ISBN : 3031213289 | 13.4 MB
This book provides an overview of the tropical marine environments of Brazil and a multi-disciplinary assessment of the impact of ongoing climate change in these environments. These changes will affect physical, biological and biogeochemical characteristics of coastal zones and oceans, modifying their ecological structure, their functions and the various services provided to humans and have the potential of causing severe socioeconomic impacts in local (coastal zone), regional (continental shelf and shallow seas) and global (ocean) scales. The Tropical Brazil presents a unique opportunity to evaluate how spatial and temporal heterogeneity influences the response and resilience of marine environments to climate changes. This region comprises the main reef constructions of the Western South Atlantic Ocean, the majority of the Brazilian deltas, one of the longest mangrove areas of the world, a very narrow and shallow continental shelf, extreme variations in sediment and nutrient flows, as well as undeniable importance in transferring heat and mass between hemispheres.
