The pressing matter of conservation of tropical streams and their biodiversity is included in alomost every chapter, with a final chapter providing a synthesis on conservation issues. For the first time, Tropical Streams Ecology places an important emphasis on viewing research carried out in contributions from international literature. * First synthetic account of the ecology of all types of tropical streams* Covers all of the major tropical regions* Detailed consideration of possible fundamental differences between tropical and temperate stream ecosystems* Threats faced by tropical stream ecosystems and possible conservation actions* Descriptions and synstheses life-histories and breeding patterns of major aquatic consumers (fishes, invertebrates)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
