Editorial: [s.l.] : Springer Fecha de publicación: 2017 Número de páginas: 343 ilustraciones, 276 ilustraciones en color. eReference.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: EcologÃa de agua dulce EcologÃa marina EcologÃa marina y de agua dulce Clasificación: 577.6 Resumen: Durante las últimas décadas se ha observado un aumento de los cambios drásticos en los ecosistemas marinos debido a los impactos inducidos por el hombre, especialmente en los ecosistemas bentónicos. Los llamados "bosques animales" están mostrando actualmente una dramática pérdida de biomasa y biodiversidad en todo el mundo. Estas comunidades están dominadas por organismos sésiles suspensÃvoros (como esponjas, corales, gorgonias, bivalvos, etc.) que generan estructuras tridimensionales, similares a los árboles en el bosque terrestre. El bosque animal proporciona varios servicios ecosistémicos como alimento, protección y crianza a la fauna asociada, desempeñando un papel importante en los ciclos hidrodinámicos y biogeoquÃmicos locales cerca del fondo marino y actuando también como sumideros de carbono. El presente libro centra su atención en estas estructuras animales tridimensionales incluyendo, por primera vez, todos los diferentes tipos de bosques animales del mundo en un solo volumen.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : During the last decades there has been an increasing evidence of drastic changes in marine ecosystems due to human-induced impacts, especially on benthic ecosystems. The so called "animal forests" are currently showing a dramatic loss of biomass and biodiversity all over the world. These communities are dominated by sessile suspension feeder organisms (such as sponges, corals, gorgonians, bivalves, etc.) that generate three-dimensional structures, similar to the trees in the terrestrial forest. The animal forest provide several ecosystem services such as food, protection and nursery to the associated fauna, playing an important role in the local hydrodynamic and biogeochemical cycles near the sea floor and acting also as carbon sinks. The present book focus its attention on these three dimensional animal structures including, for the first time, all the different types of animal forests of the world in a single volume.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Ambiente OceanografÃa Cultura animal Agua HidrologÃa Ciencias ambientales Ciencias Oceánicas Ciencia Animal Clasificación: 333.7 Recursos naturales y energía Resumen: ¿Qué está pasando en nuestros océanos? Al describir sus elementos principales, este libro muestra cómo y por qué se están transformando los océanos y sugiere posibles escenarios futuros para abordar esta pregunta compleja, aunque frecuente. El océano se está transformando dramáticamente, pero la magnitud de esta transformación sigue sin estar clara, ya que el océano es en gran medida inaccesible y aún desconocido: hay más información sobre el universo exterior que sobre las partes más profundas de nuestros océanos. El autor, biólogo marino con amplia experiencia en investigación, ofrece una visión holÃstica de nuestros océanos. Centrándose en la pesca, la contaminación y los efectos del cambio climático, identifica y describe los cambios que ocurren en todos los ecosistemas marinos y analiza el estado de equilibrio que ya pasó hace mucho tiempo. Nota de contenido: Prologue -- Seas of Yore -- Effects of Overfishing -- Effects of Pollution -- Effects of Climate Change -- Future Perspectives -- Epilogue. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : What is happening in our oceans? By describing their main elements, this book shows how and why the oceans are being transformed, and suggests possible future scenarios to address this complex, yet often-asked, question. The ocean is being dramatically transformed, but the magnitude of this transformation remains unclear since the ocean is largely inaccessible and still unknown: there is more information about the outer universe than about the deepest parts of our oceans. The author, a marine biologist with extensive research experience, offers a holistic view of our oceans. Focusing on fishing, pollution and the effects of climate change, he identifies and describes the changes occurring in all marine ecosystems, and discusses the long-passed state of equilibrium.

Compuestos por organismos que se alimentan en suspensión (por ejemplo, corales, gorgonias, esponjas, briozoos, bivalvos, etc.), los MAF constituyen un gran número de ecosistemas marinos como arrecifes de coral, corales de aguas frÃas, fondos de esponjas, lechos de bivalvos, etc. estos sistemas es prominente (a la escala de los océanos del planeta), aunque poco conocido. En un libro anterior (Bosques de animales marinos, la ecologÃa de los puntos crÃticos de biodiversidad bentónica), se describieron y discutieron varios aspectos de los MAF, sentando las bases para un enfoque holÃstico con el objetivo de poner estos ecosistemas marinos poco profundos y profundos bajo un paraguas común. El objetivo principal del presente libro es identificar y abordar temas importantes que no se trataron en los tres volúmenes anteriores. En este volumen se tratan los briozoos o poliquetos, por ejemplo, asà como los ecosistemas de fuentes hidrotermales y cuevas submarinas, la ecologÃa quÃmica en los MAF o el efecto vivero sobre estos ecosistemas. La amplitud del concepto MAF abre nuevos conocimientos sobre la biologÃa, la fisiologÃa y la biodiversidad de los organismos que estructuran estos ecosistemas altamente biodiversos y sobre los peligros que los amenazan (como los microplásticos o el papel de las especies invasoras como impacto de su ecologÃa o distribución trófica). . En un mundo que cambia rápidamente, en el que la complejidad de los MAF está en riesgo, proponemos un análisis en profundidad de muchos aspectos que pueden ser inspiradores para futuras lÃneas de investigación en biologÃa y ecologÃa marina.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Marine Animal Forests (MAFs) are spread all over the world. Composed by suspension feeding organisms (e.g. corals, gorgonians, sponges, bryozoans, bivalves, etc.), MAFs constitute a vast number of marine ecosystems such as coral reefs, cold water corals, sponge grounds, bivalve beds, etc. The surface covered by these systems is prominent (at the scale of the oceans of the planet), though poorly known. In a previous book (Marine Animal Forests, the ecology of benthic biodiversity hotspots), several aspects of the MAFs were described and discussed, building the basis for a holistic approach with the aim of putting these shallow and deep sea ecosystems under a common umbrella. The main target of the present book is to identify and address important topics which were not covered in the previous three volumes. Bryozoans or Polychaeta, for example, are treated in this volume, as well as hydrothermal vents ecosystems and submarine caves, the chemical ecology in MAFs or the nursery effect on these ecosystems. The vastity of the MAF concept opens new insights in the biology, physiology, biodiversity of the organisms structuring these highly biodiverse ecosystems and on the dangers threatening them (such as microplastics or the role of invasive species as an impact of their trophic ecology or distribution). In a fast changing world, in which the complexity of MAFs is at risk, we propose an in-depth analysis of many aspects that may be inspirational for future research lines in marine biology and ecology.
