Ao longo da última década, relatórios globais têm referido que as florestas naturais reforçam a diversidade das abelhas polinizadoras nas terras agrícolas próximas, aumentando a produção agrícola. Com esta constatação surgiu a necessidade de documentar as espécies destes importantes polinizadores, que se encontram ameaçadas pela destruição indiscriminada das florestas. No Quénia, os estudos sobre a população de abelhas são bastante raros e, como tal, existe pouca literatura sobre como conservar as abelhas face aos efeitos adversos das alterações antropogénicas. Este livro oferece uma visão perspicaz sobre as espécies de abelhas da Arabuko Sokoke, uma floresta costeira de composição única no Quénia. O livro aprofunda ainda a análise da diversidade de abelhas ao longo de um gradiente de distância, bem como entre os três tipos de vegetação distintos desta floresta com fauna altamente endémica. É apresentada uma análise exaustiva da utilização floral pelas abelhas melíferas e abelhas solitárias. Esta análise deverá ajudar a esclarecer o papel que as florestas desempenham como reservatório de polinizadores e deverá ser especialmente útil para profissionais das áreas da conservação e da ecologia, ou para qualquer pessoa que defenda a conservação destes importantes subgrupos de polinizadores.

    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
