Using Australian examples to discuss taxonomic and ecological diversity, this non-technical book introduces basic entomology. It emphasizes perspectives on insect diversity important in conservation assessment and setting priorities for management.

This book identifies emerging fields and new challenges that are discussed within the framework of the driving forces of Landscape Development.

This book discusses organisms from bacteria and ciliates to higher vertebrates that live on polar continental shelves, slopes and deep sea. Discussion includes shrinking sea ice, and organisms adapted to cold climates that are now vulnerable to rapid warming.

This book offers insights on the effects of rapid climate change at the poles, one of which is that ecosystems adapted to polar environments are likely to be vulnerable as the climate warms. The editors recognize the outstanding contribution of Marine Biology.

Many of our most successful animal breeding programs have been accompanied by a reduced fitness in the animal. In this book, leading animal breeders and revolutionary geneticists explore ways to improve breeding programs and fitness simultaneously.
