Ecology of Marine Bivalves : An Ecosystem Approach, Second Edition PDF
by Richard F. (Distinguished Palmetto Professor Emeritus, Coastal Carolina University, Conway, So Dame
Part of the CRC Marine Science series
Description
Exploring the potential use of bivalves as indicators and monitors of ecosystem health, this book describes live and computer simulated experiments, mesocosm studies, and field manipulation experiments.
This second edition discusses major new developments, including phase shifts in many coastal and estuarine ecosystems dominated by suspension-feeding bivalves, the invasion or introduction of alien bivalve species, the rapid growth of environmental restoration focused on bivalves, and the examination of geological history with regard to global climate change and its impact on bivalve-dominated systems.
