درباره این کتاب:
The North American freshwater fish fauna
is the most diverse and thoroughly
researched temperate fish fauna in the
world. Ecology of North American
Freshwater Fishes is the only textbook to
provide advanced undergraduate and
graduate students and researchers with an
up-to-date and integrated view of the
ecological and evolutionary concepts,
principles, and processes involved in the
formation and maintenance of this fauna.
Ecology of North American Freshwater
Fishes provides readers with a broad
understanding of why specific species and
assemblages occur in particular places.
Additionally, the text explores how
individuals and species interact with each
other and with their environments, how
such interactions have been altered by
anthropogenic impacts, and the relative
success of efforts to restore damaged
ecosystems.
This book is designed for use in courses
related to aquatic and fish ecology, fish
biology, ichthyology, and related advanced
ecology and conservation courses, and is
divided into five sections for ease of
use. Chapter summaries, supplemental
reading lists, online sources, extensive
figures, and color photography are
included to guide readers through the
material and facilitate student learning.
Part 1: Faunal origins, evolution, and
diversity
Presents a broad picture—both spatially
and temporally—of the derivation of the
fauna, including global and regional
geological and climatological processes
and their effects on North American
fishes.
Part 2: Formation, maintenance, and
persistence of local populations and
assemblages
Focuses on how local fish populations and
assemblages are formed and how they
persist, or not, through time.
Part 3: Form and function
Deals with the relationship of body form
and life history patterns as they are
related to ecological functions.
Part 4: Interactions among individuals and
species
Discusses the numerous interactions among
individuals and species through
communication, competition, predation,
mutualism, and facilitation.
Part 5: Issues in conservation
Focuses on several primary conservation
issues such as flow alterations and the
increasing biotic homogenization of
faunas.
