Titre : Avian urban ecology : Behavioural and physiological adaptations Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Diego Gil, Editeur scientifique ; Henrik Brumm, Editeur scientifique Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 1 vol. (XV-217 p.) Présentation : ill., couv. ill. en coul. Format : 26 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-966157-2 Note générale : Bibliogr. en fin de chap. Index Langues : Français (fre) Tags : oiseaux des villes ecologie birds ecology urbanisation Aspect environnemental environmental aspects Résumé : "As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the effect this has on wildlife. Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural counterparts. This accessible text focuses on the behavioural and physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the evolutionary process that ensues. It discusses topics such as acoustics, reproductive cues, disease, and artificial feeding, and includes a series of case studies illustrating cutting edge research on these areas. " Présentation de l'éditeur Note de contenu : Part 1: The Urban Environment
1: The challenges of urban living
2: The impact of artificial light on avian ecology
3: Wild bird feeding (probably) affects avian urban ecology
Part 2: Behaviour and Physiology
4: Attention, habituation, and antipredator behaviour: implications for urban birds
5: Behavioral and ecological predictors of urbanization
6: Acoustic communication in the urban environment: patterns, mechanisms, and potential consequences of avian song adjustments
7: The impact of anthropogenic noise on avian communication and fitness
8: Reproductive adaptations of urban birds: environmental cues and mechanisms
9: The impacts of urbanization on avian disease transmission and emergence
Part 3: Evolutionary Processes
10: Understanding the mechanisms of phenotypic responses following colonization of urban areas: From plastic to genetic adaptation
11: Landscape genetics of urban bird populations
12: Reconciling innovation and adaptation during recurrent colonization of urban environments: molecular, genetic, and developmental bases
Part 4: Case Studies
13: Acoustic, morphological and genetic adaptations to urban habitats in the silvereye (Zosterops lateralis)
14: Human-induced changes in the dynamics of species coexistence: an example with two sister species
15: The application of signal transmission modelling in conservation biology: on the possible impact of a projected motorway on avian communication
16: The importance of wooded urban green areas for breeding birds: a case study from Northern Finland

Titre : Principles and methods in landscape Ecology : Toward a science of landscape Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Almo Farina, Auteur Editeur : Springer Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 412 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4020-3327-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Écologie du paysage Phytogéographie Écologie agricole Utilisation agricole du sol Landscape ecology Ecology Phytogeography Agricultural ecology Land use Résumé : Principles and methods of landscape ecology are intensively used to model and to manage disturbed landscapes and menaced pristine areas as well. Students and professionals can find a new version of "Principles and Methods in Landscape Ecology" firstly published in 1998 by Chapman & Hall (London).
Landscape ecology is an integrative and multi-disciplinary science and "Principles and Methods in Landscape Ecology" reconciles the geological, botanical, zoological and human perspectives. In particular new paradigms and theories like percolation, metapopulation, hierarchies, source-sink models, have been integrated, in this last edition, with the recent theories on bio-complexity, information and cognitive sciences.
Methods for studying landscape ecology are covered including spatial geometry models and remote sensing in order to create confidence toward techniques and approaches that require a high experience and long-time dedication.
Principles and Methods in Landscape Ecology is a textbook useful to present the landscape in a multi-vision perspective for undergraduate and graduate students of biology, ecology, geography, forestry, agronomy, landscape architecture and planning. Sociology, economics, history, archaeology, anthropology, ecological psychology are some sciences that can benefit of the holistic vision offered by this texbook.
A relevant goal of this second edition is to increase confidence in the new generations of students and practitioners for considering the ecological systems as the result of the integration between ecosystemic (non spatial) and landscape (spatial) patterns and processes.Niveau : Recherche Type : Ouvrage Publication de Théma : Non Principles and methods in landscape Ecology : Toward a science of landscape [texte imprimé] / Almo Farina, Auteur . - Springer, 2006 . - 412 p.
