Description: The diversity of marine life is being affected dramatically by human activities. This book presents a national research agenda on marine biological diversity and proposes a fundamental change in studying the ocean. It explores critical environmental issues, advocates the use of regionally defined model systems, and identifies a series of key biodiversity research questions.

Description: The Antarctic represents the last of the world's still unexplored continents. Since 1985, Italy has sent 10 expeditions to this region, three of those have been exclusively devoted to research on the marine ecology of the Ross Sea region. This volume presents a global picture of this research. It includes contributions on water mass characteristics, particulate organic matter and nutrient utilization, and physiological aspects of primary production. Further topics are zooplankton, krill and top predator interactions in relation to physical and biological parameters, ecological features of coastal fish communities and the spatio-temporal variability of benthic biocenoses.

Description: Marine Species and Their Distribution in China's Seas is the result of 132 experts compiling a listing of the distribution and general habitats of over 20,000 species of five kingdoms collected and identified from China's coastal waters. This is the only comprehensive list of marine species of all phylogenic groups from bacteria to mammals in this geographic region. Each species entry includes the scientific name, author(s), distribution, and reference(s). The hosts are also listed for species. The index includes all the taxonomic levels. In this English language edition, revisions were made throughout. Hirudinea was added, and Bryozoa, Entoprocta, and Echinodermata listings were completely revised. The distribution range for each species was generally arranged from north to south and from east to west, with the province or major water body provided in parenthesis for each location to assist readers not familiar with China's geography. Several maps are also provided in the introduction to this translated edition. This book will prove invaluable to taxonomists, systematists, biogeographers, oceanographers, as well as conservation, marine, and evolution biologists, and resource managers.

Description: This textbook for advanced level courses in oceanography focuses on the interaction of ecological and physical processes that govern the ocean. The book begins with an introduction to ecology, using foraging theory and analytic formulation of encounter rates of predator and prey as organizing principles. Examples used are primarily marine to convey how marine systems differ from terrestrial environments. These differences, which carry through the remainder of the book, arise primarily through the ways in which deposit feeders process seafloor muds, suspension feeders extract particles from seawater, bacteria absorb solutes, and marine plants gather nutrients and light. The next section of the book is devoted to central issues of biological oceanography: controls of primary production, the role of bacteria, and questions of recruitment. The last part treats interdisciplinary topics as the arena in which the non-biological environmental scientist is most likely to find need for some biological background. The book is designed to introduce and develop concepts rather than to give extensive factual detail.
