Biological diversity

Cave paintings attest to our species’ enduring interest in biological diversity. Our early ancestors appear to have enjoyed the aesthetic qualities of nature as well as recognising its importance as a source of food and fuel. Poets and artists throughout history have sought inspiration from the natural world. But the first scientific enquiries about biological diversity emerged when explorers r...

Biological Structures

This collection of extraordinary photographs surveys cellular ultrastructure, histology, embryology, radiology, and botany. The preface to each of the book's five sections briefly explains the techniques used to obtain the photographs. The captions and the labeling of photographs are especially clear and make the material easy to comprehend. In addition to the "standards," the electron microsco...

Biological Invasions , Biological Diversity and Trade

The opening of new markets or trade routes has resulted in the deliberate or accidental introduction of new species, while the growth in the volume of trade has increased the frequency of species introductions. We model the connection between landscape heterogeneity, resource extraction, the level of biodiversity, and the level of trade. We show that the invasion risks of trade reduce the socia...
