  • Coastal Wetlands

    An Integrated Ecosystem Approach

    Edited by Gerardo M.E. Perillo, Eric Wolanski, Donald R. Cahoon, Mark M. Brinson ...
    Coastal wetlands are under a great deal of pressure from the dual forces of rising sea level and the intervention of human populations both along the estuary and in the river catchment.

  • Antarctic Ecosystems

    An Extreme Environment in a Changing World

    Edited by Alex D. Rogers, Nadine M. Johnston, Eugene J. Murphy, Andrew Clarke ...
    Since its discovery Antarctica has held a deep fascination for biologists. Extreme environmental conditions, seasonality and isolation have lead to some of the most striking examples of natural selection and adaptation on Earth. Paradoxically, some of these adaptations may pose constraints on the ability of the Antarctic biota to respond to climate change. Parts of Antarctica are showing some of ... Read more
