With over 430 color photographs, this account helps identify the animals and plants found around the reefs in the Caribbean.
An eye-opening look at what really goes on in the lives of coral reef fishes and invertebrates. Unforgettable photographs illustrate marine biology in action for all aquarists and underwater naturalists.
"About 200 of the most common and observable of the invertebrate species (and 14 algae and 2 seedplants) are identified here. In addition, we have provided clues to the specific habitats and a few items of natural history for each species." --
Invertebrate Palaeontology and Evolution is well establishedas the foremost palaeontology text at the undergraduate level. Thisfully revised fourth edition includes a complete update of thesections on evolution and the fossil record, and the evolution ofthe early metazoans. New work on the classification of the major phyla (inparticular brachiopods and molluscs) has been incorporated. The section on trace fossils is extensively rewritten. The author has taken care to involve specialists in the majorgroups, to ensure the taxonomy is as up-to-date and accurate aspossible.
This book covers in one volume materials scattered in hundreds of research articles, in most cases focusing on specialized aspects of coral biology. In addition to the latest developments in coral evolution and physiology, it presents chapters devoted to novel frontiers in coral reef research. These include the molecular biology of corals and their symbiotic algae, remote sensing of reef systems, ecology of coral disease spread, effects of various scenarios of global climate change, ocean acidification effects of increasing CO2 levels on coral calcification, and damaged coral reef remediation. Beyond extensive coverage of the above aspects, key issues regarding the coral organism and the reef ecosystem such as calcification, reproduction, modeling, algae, reef invertebrates, competition and fish are re-evaluated in the light of new research and emerging insights. In all chapters novel theories as well as challenges to established paradigms are introduced, evaluated and discussed. This volume is indispensible for all those involved in coral reef management and conservation.
Profiling some of the most beautiful and bizarre animals that make their way into marine aquariums, this book covers more than 500 invertebrates and plants of speical interest to reef aquarists.
