Asiatic Honeybee Apis ceranaBiodiversity Conservation and Agricultural Production

Despite its economic usefulness, biodiversity of Asian hive bee Apis cerana is suffering precipi-tous decline and is threatened with extinction in its entire native habitat. Although a number of publications have appeared on honeybees in the market no attempt has been made to approach the subject in systematically and in a comprehensive manner in case of Apis cerana. There is still not enough knowledge on different facets of biological conservation, agricultural production and role in improving food security and livelihoods.

Systems Biology of Metabolic and Signaling NetworksEnergy, Mass and Information Transfer

Systems Biology represents a new paradigm aim-ing at a whole-organism-level understanding of biological phenomena, emphasizing interconnec-tions and functional interrelationships rather than component parts. The study of network properties, and how they control and regulate behavior from the cellular to organism level, constitutes a main focus of Systems Biology. This book addresses from a novel perspective a major unsolved biologi-cal problem: understanding how a cell works and what goes wrong in pathology. The task under-taken by the authors is in equal parts conceptual and methodological, integrative and analytical, experimental and theoretical, qualitative and quantitative, didactic and comprehensive. Essen-tially, they unravel the spatio-temporal unfold-ing of interacting mass-energy and information networks at the cellular and organ levels, as well as its modulation through activation or repression by signaling networks to produce a certain phenotype or (patho)physiological response.

Features 7 Establishes the basis of a 21st century ap-proach to biological complexity 7 Explores the Systems Biology of signaling networks, cellular structures and fluxes, organ and microorganism functions 7 Broadens your understanding of biological phenomena, emphasizing interconnec-tions and functional interrelationships

Wetland TechniquesVolumes 1-3

Wetlands serve many important functions and provide numerous ecological services such as clean water, wildlife habitat, nutrient reduction, and flood control. Wetland science is a relatively young discipline but is a rapidly growing field due to an enhanced understanding of the importance of wetlands and the numerous laws and policies that have been developed to protect these areas. This growth is demonstrated by the creation and growth of the Society of Wetland Scientists which was formed in 1980 and now has a membership of 3,500 people. It is also illustrated by the existence of 2 journals (Wetlands and Wetlands Ecology and Management) devoted entirely to wetlands. This rapid growth has led to the publication of a num-ber of wetland books. These books are generally focused on specific wetland types, wetland ecol-ogy, or wetland creation/restoration. However, we know of no practical, comprehensive techniques book centered on wetlands. A practical wetland techniques book written for wetland researchers, students, and managers, covering the many sub-disciplines within this broad field, is sorely needed and would be a seminal contribution to the field.

New SeriesReviews in Ecological EconomicsI. Kubiszewski, Series editors: R. Costanza, K. Limburg

The field of ecological economics emerged roughly two decades ago, and is rapidly growing both as a scientific endeavor and as a major guide to policy development. Since its founding in 1989, the journal Ecological Economics has published 70 volumes containing approximately 3,000 articles. Articles on ecological economics issues routinely appear in numerous other journals as well, includ-ing Science and Nature. Clearly, such interest indicates a maturing of the field. It is time for a publication providing reviews of key issues and subjects in a comprehensive, relevant, and timely fashion, creating a critical point of access to the field of ecological economics, and an opportunity to reflect on past progress and chart the direction forward. After two years of publishing Ecological Economics Reviews (EER) as a special issue of the ‘Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences’, we are pleased to announce a move to Springer and a slightly different name: Reviews in Ecological Economics (REE). We are confident that this move will strengthen the new REE and increase our exposure and recognition. Written by leading sci-entists and with a prominent transdisciplinary edi-torial board (listed below), this intelligent and up-to-date synthesis of the primary research will be an oft-cited benchmark in the field.

USDA Forest Service Experimental Forests and RangesResearch for the Long-Term

USDA Forest Service Experimental Forests and Ranges (EFRs) are scientific treasures, providing secure, protected research sites where complex and diverse ecological processes are studied over the long term. This book offers several examples of the dynamic interactions among questions of public concern or policy, EFR research, and natural resource management practices and poli-cies. Often, trends observed – or expected -- in the early years of a research program are contradicted or confounded as the research record extends over decades. The EFRs are among the few areas in the US where such long-term research has been carried out by teams of scientists. Changes in so-ciety’s needs and values can also redirect research programs. Each chapter of this book reflects the interplay between the ecological results that emerge from a long-term research project and the social forces that influence questions asked and resources invested in ecological research.

Features 7 Offers several examples of the dynamic interac-tions among questions of public concern or policy, EFR research, and natural resource management practices and policies 7 This book examines research trajectories emerging from the body of work conducted on EFRs over their first century of service 7 Explores the continued promise of long-term research on EFRs and new ways of us-ing the network of EFRs to answer today’s science questions

Endemism in Vascular PlantsThe book is the first comprehensive analysis of the macroecology and geobotany of endemic vascular plants with case-studies and analyses from different regions in the world. Endemism is a pre-extinction phenomenon. Endemics are threat-ened with extinction. Due to international nature conservation policies and due to the perception of the public the concept’s importance is increasing. Endemism can result from different biological and environmental processes. Depending on the process conservation measures should be adapted. Endemic vascular plant taxa, in the setting of their species composition and vegetation types are important features of landscapes and indica-tors of the quality of relating habitats. The book is an important basis for biologists, ecologists, geographers, planners and managers of nature reserves and national parks, and people generally interested in nature conservation and biogeogra-phy of vascular plants.

The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) of KoreaProtection, Conservation and Restoration of a Unique Ecosystem

Untouched since 1953, the Korean DMZ (De-militarized Zone) has transformed itself into one of the few ecologically pristine zones and a vital habitat for endangered species. Often cited as a potential “peace park”, it could one day be a com-mon ground for reconciliation and harmony. A wealth of data and information has been produced over time, documenting significant aspects of the DMZ and its implications for human and ecological security, both in Korea and worldwide. However, there is no single book in English that brings together the findings on the mechanism of evolution, the ecology and biodiversity of the DMZ. “The DMZ of Korea”, by Kwi-Gon Kim, is the first step in this direction.

Features 7 Presents the reader a synthesis of the sub-ject 7 Approaches to the ecological problems in the DMZ are presented 7 Serves also as a guideline for the approach and the documentation of protected areas for decision-makers, planners, managers and ecologists

Biogeochemistry of a Forested EcosystemThe goal of this Third Edition is to update long-term data presented in earlier editions and to generate new syntheses and conclusions about the biogeochemistry of the Hubbard Brook Val-ley based on these longer-term data. There have been many changes, revelations, and exciting new insights generated from the longer data records. For example, the impact of acid rain peaked dur-ing the period of the HBES and is now declining. The longer-term data also posed challenges in that very marked changes in fluxes occurred in some components, such as hydrogen ion and sulfate deposition, calcium and nitrate export in stream water and biomass accumulation, during the almost 50 years of record.

Biological Time, Symmetries and SingularitiesPerspectives on Life

This authored monograph introduces a genuinely theoretical approach to biology. Starting point is the investigation of empirical biological scaling including their variability, which is found in the literature, e.g. allometric relationships, fractals, etc. The book then analyzes two different aspects of biological time: first, a supplementary temporal dimension to accommodate proper biological rhythms; secondly, the concepts of pretension and retention as a means of local organization of time in living organisms. Moreover, the book investi-gates the role of symmetry in biology, in view of its ubiquitous importance in physics. In relation with the notion of extended critical transitions, the book proposes that organisms and their evolu-tion can be characterized by continued symmetry changes, which accounts for the irreducibility of their historicity. The authors also introduce the concept of anti-entropy as a measure for the potential of variability, being equally understood as alterations in symmetry.

Features 7 Provides a novel and genuinely theoretical approach to biology 7 Includes a characteriza-tion of ‘physical’ versus ‘biological’ 7 Introduces the concept of anti-entropy as a measure for the potential of variability 7 Presents numerous theoretical propositions 7 Written by experts in the field

Sensitivity of Mangrove Ecosystem to Changing ClimateMangroves are basically salt tolerant forest eco-systems found mainly in tropical and sub-tropical inter-tidal regions. Till about 1960s, mangroves were largely viewed as “economically unproductive areas” and were therefore destroyed for reclaiming land for various economic and commercial activi-ties. Gradually, with the passage of time, the eco-nomic and ecological benefits of mangroves have become visible and their importance is now well appreciated. Today, mangroves are observed in about 30 countries in tropical subtropical regions covering an area of about 99,300 Sq.Km.

Features 7 The unique ecosystem of mangroves is elabo-rately described with special emphasis on the impact of climate change on it 7 The text is replets with case studies from across the world for a comprehensive and interesting read 7 The role of mangroves in mitigating natural disas-ter like cyclones, tidal surges, tsunamis, etc is described 7 The work is the result of 30 years of painstaking research on mangrove biodiversity and continual change of the system, which is generally not documented

Contents Climate change: A threat of the era.- Mangroves: A unique gift of nature.- How mangroves resist natural disaster?.- Impact of climate change on mangroves.- Climate change and plankton spec-trum of mangrove ecosystem.- Climate change and its impact on brackish water fish and fishery.- Climate change and livelihood: Are we approach-ing towards an inevitable change?.

Morphogenesis in Living SystemsThis contributed volume presents interdisciplin-ary approaches which currently revolutionize the representation of the morphogenesis of living sys-tems. The book introduces concepts from complex systems theory and explores how these concepts lead to quantitative approaches of living systems dynamics. It discusses whether new trends in the quantitative observation of living systems indicate a new paradigm of formal and applied epistemol-ogy for the reconstruction of living systems mul-tiscale dynamics. The volume collects a number of articles from interdisciplinary teams, most of the authors were contributors to the MLS09 or MLS10 conferences in Paris.

Features 7 Presents interdisciplinary approaches on the morphogenesis of living systems 7 Includes quantitative approaches of the dynamics of living systems 7 Written by leading experts in the field

Sustainability and Process DevelopmentEnvironmental sustainability and development is of critical importance. Techological advances in the production of new energy sources are making their way into our lives in more and more depth every day. However, there is an urgent need to address the technological challenges and advance-ment of the various chemical and bio-processes to maintain the dynamic sustainability of our energy needs. Toward that end, an attempt is being made to look at recent advances, key issues still faced and where possible, offer suggestions on alternative technologies to optimize sustainable processes. Still considered a new area of science, energy sources themselves are still being ‘discov-ered’...meaning, what is financially viable in the current marketplace is changing.

Features 7 Timely publication addressing accountability and sustainability in development 7 Multiple topics concerning chemical and bio-process engineering covered 7 Written for the academic setting, but can be a valuable tool for the public interested in sustainability
