Sobre IBD

This is a research-focused book which presents theoretical and scientific researches in the field of marine ecosystems. The study of marine ecosystems is a vast subject of discussion, which includes various processes, groups of organisms and geographical peculiarities. The objective of this book is to present various significant topics which help in better understanding of the marine ecosystems, what they are, how they work and how we can model them in order to predict their behavior under changing conditions. The various topics covered in this book have been thoroughly reviewed and approved for publication. This book discusses a wide range of subjects ranging from threats to ultra-oligotrophic marine ecosystems and modelling the pelagic ecosystem dynamics in Northwest Mediterranean to the marine ecosystem of the Sub-Antarctic, Prince Edward Islands and meiofauna as a means for marine ecosystem biomonitoring. Other important topics covered in this book include chemical interactions in marine ecosystems, hydrocarbon contamination and the swimming nature of the estuarine copepod Eurytemora affinis, interactions between marine ecosystems and tourism on the Adriatic and Mediterranean. Also, several case studies on important issues like coral reef protection and seabed mapping have been covered in the book.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    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...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    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...

    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...
