Format : 23 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978124170155 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 577 Ecologie Résumé : Aquatic functional biodiversity: an ecological and evolutionary perspective provides a general conceptual framework by some of the most prominent investigators in the field for how to link ecological and evolutionary approaches with functional diversity, to understand and conserve the provisioning of ecosystem services in aquatic systems. Rather than a methodological book, the work primarily concentrates on defining common areas, connecting conceptual frameworks, and providing examples through a more detailed discussion of a few empirical studies and projects; this helps illustrate key ideas and offers an outline of potential future directions and challenges expected in this interdisciplinary research field. Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in using network approaches to disentangle the relationship between biodiversity, community structure, and functioning. Novel means for model construction are being developed constantly, and modern methods allow for the inclusion of almost any type of explanatory variable that can be correlated either with biodiversity or ecosystem functioning. As a result, these models have been widely used in ecology, conservation and ecological and evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, there is still a considerable gap to bridge before we fully understand how biodiversity constrains functioning, and, ultimately, the provisioning of services, in natural ecosystems.

Ecosystem-based management marine fisheries / Belgrano, Andréa

Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Ecosystem-based management marine fisheries : an evolving perspective Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Belgrano, Andréa, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge university press Année de publication : 2011 Importance : XVII-384 p. Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-51981-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 639 Chasse et pêche commerciales, protection de la faune et la flore Résumé : Showing how big-picture patterns can help overcome the failures of conventional management, this book is ideal for students, researchers, and professionals involved with marine fisheries. It explores not only the current practice of the "ecosystem approach" to fisheries management, but also its critical importance to even larger perspectives. The first section gives a valuable overview of how more and more of the complexity of real-world systems is being recognized and involved in the management of fisheries around the world. The second section then demonstrates how important aspects of real-world systems, involving population dynamics, evolution, and behavior, remain to be taken into account completely. This section also shows how we must change the way we think about our involvement in, and the complexity of, marine ecosystems. The final chapters consider how, with the use of carefully chosen macroecological patterns, we can take important steps towards more holistic management of marine fisheries.
