درباره این کتاب:
This book
gathers the most recent research
findings on ecology and conservation of
marine vertebrates in Latin America,
making use of high technological methods
to show readers the diversity of the
marine research that has been conducted
in these countries over the last
decades. The book brings authors from
more than 23 institutions of 7 different
countries developing the most diverse
research aiming at ocean conservation
through the ecology of different
vertebrate animals, such as whales,
dolphins, manatees, turtles, seabirds
and fish. This book deals with
technological advances and innovation in
the ecology and conservation of marine
vertebrates in Latin America. This
eclectic collection is broad in scope
but provides detailed summaries of new
methods that are deployed in the study
of marine environmental conservation.
Key issues revolve around the
development and application of
educational methodologies in the field
of marine vertebrate research, which
provide a rational basis for better
management of marine environments using
modern techniques associated with GIS,
satellite tracking, aerial systems,
bioacoustics, biogeochemistry, genetics,
underwater videography, species
photoidentification, molecular biology,
trophic ecological methods, ethological
methods, and behavioural ecology, among
others. Discussion and elucidation of
these kinds of techniques are aimed at
university-level students and
post-graduate researchers. The scope of
this volume includes whales, sharks,
rays, dolphins, tropical fishes,
turtles, manatees as well as aspects of
Latin American marine ecosystem
conservation. Researchers in this
biogeographic region, as well as others
involved with marine vertebrate
research, will find this work essential
reading. Read more...
