Proceedings of the 5th Oligochaete Symposium held in Tallinn, Estonia, 1991

This volume contains selected papers from the 9th Symposium on Aquatic Oligochaeta, 6-10 October 2003, Wageningen, The Netherlands. 18 contributions deal with the biology of aquatic oligochaetes, and represents a mixture of the fields of taxonomy, anatomy, morphology and physiology, life history, ecology, sludge studies and toxicology.

The lake's natural dynamics and processes have been studied, including its special optical properties, algal nutrient limitations, pelagic bacteria, and models of the inter-relationships of thermal properties, nutrients, phytoplankton, deep-water mixing, and water budgets.

Proceedings of the International Conference, held in Vienna, Austria, 9-11 November 1998

Shallow lakes are important for their amenity value and the ecosystem services that they support. This book examines 40 years of data from Loch Leven, a shallow lake in the lowlands of Scotland, UK, to gain a better understanding of the links between pollution, climate change and ecological response at the landscape scale.

This book summarizes the latest advances in sponge science through a concise selection of studies presented at the VIII World Sponge Conference.

The idea of producing a book on the activities of sence of bottom versus surface withdrawal all have microorganisms in reservoirs had its origins in an a bearing on microbial processes.

This book presents the latest advances in Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) mapping and modeling and introduces the environmental approach to EFH identification through the combined use of latest technologies and advanced techniques.

This volume deals with many aspects of the physical and chemical limnology of the Salton Sea, California's largest lake and a lake that may soon to be the object of a multi-billion dollar restoration project.

Genetics, Marine Protected Areas, Global Climate Change and Marine Ecosystems, Sustainable Fisheries and Agriculture.The world's marine ecosystems face multiple challenges, some natural, but many resulting from humankind's activities.

Most of the diadromous fish of the world have decreased in distribution and abundance since the beginning of the twentieth century. The causes of these trends vary among species and basins but regional human impact (damming, pollution, fisheries) and global change (climate) are suspected to be responsible for these difficulties.

Advances in Algal Biology: A Commemoration of the Work of Rex Lowe was written by students and colleagues of Rex Lowe to acknowledge his esteemed career that included exceptional contributions to research and teaching. Papers in the book cover a variety of topics in algal ecology, focusing on benthic algal ecology in freshwater ecosystems.

Topics covered include the evolution of jellyfish blooms, the impacts of climate change on jellyfish populations, advances in acoustic and molecular methods used to study jellyfish, the role of jellyfish in food webs and nutrient cycles, and the ecology of the benthic stages of the jellyfish life history.

Freshwater Biodiversity is a much underestimated component of global biodiversity, both in its diversity and in its potential to act as models for fundamental research in evolutionary biology and ecosystem studies.

This book summarizes research from 50 years of intensive study of a pristine subalpine lake ecosystem and its catchment. Coverage spans a range of topics, including studies focusing on changes in ice cover, water temperature, zooplankton, benthos and fish.

The great diversity of ostracod applications in biology and palaeontology is clearly illustrated by eighteen papers from the 15th International Symposium on Ostracoda. You'll learn how ostracods are used as model groups in a variety of research studies, ranging from evolutionary biology to climate change.

Ancient lakes are exceptional freshwater environments that have continued to exist for hundreds of thousands of years. They have long been recognized as centres of biodiversity and hotspots of evolution. This work features the contributions that deal with patterns and processes of biological diversification in three prominent ancient lake systems.

Topics covered include the evolution of jellyfish blooms, the impacts of climate change on jellyfish populations, advances in acoustic and molecular methods used to study jellyfish, the role of jellyfish in food webs and nutrient cycles, and the ecology of the benthic stages of the jellyfish life history.

Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium

Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Littorinid Biology, held in Cork 7-13 September 1996

The collection presents the diversity of approaches that have been used, and provides future directions for the study of `molecular ecology' of aquatic communities, from viruses to fish, and in aquatic systems ranging from freshwater streams and lakes to estuaries and oceans.

This Atlas attempts to dispel some of the mystery surrounding stomatocysts, to facilitate the accurate identification of individual cyst morphotypes, and to encourage other workers to begin using these important indicators of environmental change.

The Ecology and Etiology of Newly Emerging Marine Diseases is a unique contribution to an entirely new field of scientific investigation. For the first time, material presented in this book identifies patterns and trends in the abundance and distribution of disease phenomena in the marine environment.
