The Marine Fauna of the British Isles and North-West Europe: Introduction and protozoans to arthropods by P. J. Hayward,John Stanley Ryland Pdf
This is the first part of a comprehensive two-volume treatise that describes and illustrates over 2,000 marine species, ranging from protozoans to fishes, native to the coastal waters of the British Isles and north-western Europe. The most complete account available of its kind, the books cover all benthic habitats, from the intertidal zone to a depth of approximately 30 meters. Each major animal group is covered, with information on the morphology, biology, ecology of representative species, and techniques for their collection and study. Estuarine and supralittoral faunas are also described. Identification is facilitated by dichotomous keys to families and then to genera and species. Short diagnostic accounts are given for each family and higher taxon, and descriptions of all species are followed by notes on their ecological and geographical distribution. Line drawings are also included to help clarify the material presented in the text.

Key Works to the Fauna and Flora of the British Isles and North-western Europe by Reginald William Sims,Paul Freeman,D. L. Hawksworth Pdf
The principal works for the identification of all living organisms--animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and viruses--found in northwestern Europe are listed in this practical and accessible reference book. The new edition reflects the progress made since publication of the fourth edition in 1978, and features a succinct selection of the relevant recent and standard literature for use in identifying organisms of the region. Arranged by major groups, with the title first and the author and date following, the book facilitates the search for a reference to a specific topic. Also included are details of general guides to the fauna and flora and the faunal lists of marine biological stations. The references listed can be applied to a wide area, enabling biologists to make correct identifications of rare or new records of species previously reported in the literature of other countries.
In the Wrong Place - Alien Marine Crustaceans: Distribution, Biology and Impacts by Bella S. Galil,Paul F. Clark,James T. Carlton Pdf
In The Wrong Place: Alien Marine Crustaceans - Distribution, Biology And Impacts provides a unique view into the remarkable story of how shrimps, crabs, and lobsters – and their many relatives – have been distributed around the world by human activity, and the profound implications of this global reorganization of biodiversity for marine conservation biology. Many crustaceans form the base of marine food chains, and are often prominent predators and competitors acting as ecological engineers in marine ecosystems. Commencing in the 1800s global commerce began to move hundreds – perhaps thousands – of species of marine crustaceans across oceans and between continents, both intentionally and unintentionally. This book tells the story of these invasions from Arctic waters to tropical shores, highlighting not only the importance and impact of all prominent crustacean invasions in the world's oceans, but also the commercial exploitation of invasive crabs and shrimps. Topics explored for the first time in one volume include the historical roots of man's impact on crustacean biogeography, the global dispersal of crabs, barnacle invasions, insights into the potential scale of tropical invasions, the history of the world's most widely cultured shrimp, the invasive history and management of red king crabs in Norway, Chinese mitten crabs in England, and American blue crabs in Europe, the evolutionary ecology of green crabs, and many other subjects as well, touching upon all ocean shores.
A Student's Guide to the Seashore by J. D. Fish,S. Fish Pdf

The Essential Guide to Beachcombing and the Strandline by Steve Trewhella,Julie Hatcher Pdf
Immerse yourself in the beachcombing experience; the wind in your face, the smell of salt spray, the roar of the ocean; it’s an assault on the senses, the perfect tonic. From time immemorial people have been drawn to the beach to collect practical resources as well as mysterious objects that have fuelled myth and folklore – it is our inherent hunter-gatherer instinct. The beach strandline is also a wildlife habitat, home to a unique community of plants and animals, many found nowhere else. They create a rich and ever-changing oasis of life in the otherwise harsh environment of the beach. Whether you are a seasoned beachcomber, a casual visitor or an enthusiastic naturalist, this book is for you. It will satisfy your curiosity about each treasure found cast up on the beach, be it a pretty seashell or an exotic ocean voyager. • Descriptions of common and rare beach finds, both natural and man-made • Clear photographs showing objects and species as found on the strandline and in their natural habitat • Suggestions for family activities related to beachcombing • A comprehensive account of the living flora and fauna of the beach strandline • Information on threats and conservation measures for the marine and coastal environment
