Probabilistic methods offer more realistic and meaningful estimates of risk and hence, potentially, a better basis for decision-making. Application of Uncertainty Analysis to Ecological Risks of Pesticides examines the applicability of probabilistic methods for ecological risk assessment for pesticides and explores their appropriateness for general use.<br /><br />There are many methods of analyzing variability and uncertainty and many ways of presenting the results. Inappropriate use of these methods leads to misleading results, and experts differ on what is appropriate. Disagreement about which methods are appropriate will result in wasted resources, conflict over findings, and reduced credibility with decision makers and the public. There is, therefore, a need to reach a consensus on how to choose and use appropriate methods, and to present this in the form of guidance for prospective users. Written in a clear and concise style, the book examines how to use probabilistic methods within a risk-based decision paradigm.<br />Editor(s): William J.

Concentrations of selenium in the environment are increasing globally as a result of mining, power generation, agriculture, and animal husbandry. Population-level effects from selenium in natural ecosystems have been definitively documented in three freshwater lakes and reservoirs and are suspected elsewhere in both freshwater and estuarine environments.<br /><br />Ecological Assessment of Selenium in the Aquatic Environment summarizes the state-of-the-science and provides globally applicable guidance for assessing and managing the environmental effects of selenium. This book is based on the deliberations of a multidisciplinary and international group of scientists, managers, and policymakers.

To a certain extent, the influence of marine biology on the biological sciences was overshadowed over a period of several years by the remarkable advances that were made using powerful model organisms from terrestrial environments. This situation is now changing again, however, due primarily to spectacular developments in genomic methodologies that have significantly accelerated research in a broad spectrum of marine biology disciplines ranging from biodiversity to developmental biology to biotechnology. The data generated by marine genomics projects have had an impact on questions as diverse as understanding planetary geochemical cycles, the impact of climate change on marine fauna and flora, the functioning of marine ecosystems, the discovery of new organisms and novel biomolecules, and investigation of the evolution of animal developmental complexity. </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">This book represents the first attempt to document how genomic technologies are revolutionising these diverse domains of marine biology. Each chapter of this book looks at how these technologies are being employed in a specific domain of marine research and provides a summary of the major results obtained to date. The book as a whole provides an overview of marine genomics as a discipline and represents an ideal starting point for exploring this rapidly developing domain.</span></p><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Click <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Marine-Genomics-Advances/dp/9048186161/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265514286&sr=1-13">here</a> for further information</span><br /></div>Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-86389047992813597722010-05-30T12:39:00.000-03:002010-05-30T12:39:00.522-03:00ONTA XLI Annual Meeting: Abstract Deadline<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32RHQpgui72P_1e2mqp9v2BktkyFsnk9pv27syAZzQMT072cXHkD2pbtme-SZI1JDCUGmuTykzA_oFV-0IChqn7DVhy1L7WMGBdddUzdpiz2pPk8xE3IBrWGbSRdBD8e_gDKo/s1600-h/onta+2010.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32RHQpgui72P_1e2mqp9v2BktkyFsnk9pv27syAZzQMT072cXHkD2pbtme-SZI1JDCUGmuTykzA_oFV-0IChqn7DVhy1L7WMGBdddUzdpiz2pPk8xE3IBrWGbSRdBD8e_gDKo/s400/onta+2010.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447830534395737794" /></a><br /><br />The abstract submission and registration deadline for <strong>ONTA XLI Annual Meeting</strong>, Quito (Equador) 19 - 24 September 2010, is next 18 June, 2010.<br /><br />More information <a href="http://www.ontaweb.org/">here</a>.Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-82331033137687723042010-05-24T01:24:00.004-03:002010-05-24T01:24:00.550-03:00BOOK: Ecology of Fresh Waters: A View for the Twenty-First Century<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3dgMQubygNzXMMBtKoa67LLAfS-zWgFQPp9R4LfqVlYHsXXtbzPog0Hdwm6Ypl6QND4iAQwqSZDGTtLNweYQLkmqtPI8nyGxriLqaTeStV0VropsfrHyV97qhe0NyDAcIqy9r/s1600-h/ECOLOGY+FRESH.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3dgMQubygNzXMMBtKoa67LLAfS-zWgFQPp9R4LfqVlYHsXXtbzPog0Hdwm6Ypl6QND4iAQwqSZDGTtLNweYQLkmqtPI8nyGxriLqaTeStV0VropsfrHyV97qhe0NyDAcIqy9r/s200/ECOLOGY+FRESH.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435353328340081266" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;">Product Description </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">This new edition of an established textbook provides a comprehensive and stimulating introduction to rivers, lakes and wetlands, and was written as the basis for a complete course on freshwater ecology.

It illustrates how climate and humans impact marine ecosystems, providing a comprehensive review of the physical and ecological processes that structure marine ecosystems as well as the observation, experimentation, and modelling approaches required for their study. Recognizing the interactive roles played by humans in using marine resources and in responding to global changes in marine systems, the book includes chapters on the human dimensions of marine ecosystem changes and on effective management approaches in this era of rapid change. A final section reviews the state of the art in predicting the responses of marine ecosystems to future global change scenarios with the intention of informing both future research agendas and marine management policy.</span><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><em></em></span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Click <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Marine-Ecosystems-Global-Change-Barange/dp/0199558027/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265514286&sr=1-22">here</a> for further information</span></span><br /></div>Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-24997591695797149362010-04-20T14:07:00.000-03:002010-04-20T14:07:00.389-03:00Student Travel Award Applications for SON 49th Annual Meeting<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpXNghUJzgXVVjTpXrmbC6rSDMVhXOLAOiyYQHjynztCJybtXcgrqBr0oL-s2X1ow07uNxInGqRBWZoN-3pEngV95fq2nCtlx3d8BTiPsJws1FRNlabcQwrgE7hbsGwDRe-VEt/s1600-h/Society+Nematologists+49th.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpXNghUJzgXVVjTpXrmbC6rSDMVhXOLAOiyYQHjynztCJybtXcgrqBr0oL-s2X1ow07uNxInGqRBWZoN-3pEngV95fq2nCtlx3d8BTiPsJws1FRNlabcQwrgE7hbsGwDRe-VEt/s400/Society+Nematologists+49th.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441104317877546642" /></a><br /><br />This year the Society of Nematologists will be holding between July 11-14, 2010, their 49th Annual Meeting in Boise, Idaho.<br /><br />Student Travel Award Applications are now being accepted with submission deadline: April 30, 2010.<br /><br />The abstract submission deadline is also 30 April.<br /><br />You can read all information on the event page <a href="http://www.2010.nematologists.com">here</a>.Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-55616836851378135282010-04-15T23:28:00.000-03:002010-04-15T23:28:00.870-03:00YOUTUBE: Nauplius<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/00L3WjQ22jI&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/00L3WjQ22jI&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></center>Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-63793251648843435712010-04-10T14:48:00.000-03:002010-04-10T14:48:00.424-03:007th European Ostracodologists Meeting: first information<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrnVBeF3H7s9fIhDmgLB1p-l-kWWooO41fRl6PVpr_ZwUFGMGZx7yutZM29UumrKpyKLjLMyQ-9n5e0kH-fgx_aIPDjRHvnSk3xGBXznNO04hxnlRCu2ZdJmL_4vqJLxKuOuw/s1600/7th+ostracoda+meeting.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCrnVBeF3H7s9fIhDmgLB1p-l-kWWooO41fRl6PVpr_ZwUFGMGZx7yutZM29UumrKpyKLjLMyQ-9n5e0kH-fgx_aIPDjRHvnSk3xGBXznNO04hxnlRCu2ZdJmL_4vqJLxKuOuw/s400/7th+ostracoda+meeting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456705232885984194" /></a><br /><br />EOM 7 will take place in Graz, located in south-eastern Austria, in 25. – 28.

Bringing together diverse viewpoints from academia and environmental agencies and regulators, the contributors cover such topics as biological resources of mining areas, biomonitoring of freshwater and marine ecosystems and risk assessment of contaminated land in order to explore important questions such as: What are the effects of pollutants on functional ecology and ecosystems? Do current monitoring techniques accurately signal the extent of industrial pollution? Does existing policy provide a coherent and practicable approach? Case studies from throughout the world illustrate major themes and provide valuable insights into the positive and negative effects of industrial pollution, the provision of appropriate monitoring schemes and the design of remediation and restoration strategies.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ecology-Industrial-Pollution-Ecological-Reviews/dp/0521514460/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265512682&sr=1-32#reader_0521514460"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SEARCH INSIDE THIS BOOK</span></span></span></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="emptyClear"> </div> </div><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div>Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-37569444961737896462010-03-20T23:25:00.000-03:002010-03-20T23:25:00.636-03:00YOUTUBE: Nematode worms respond to light without eyes<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pxsSnocOeIQ&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pxsSnocOeIQ&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></center>Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-84577677423643260542010-03-15T23:19:00.000-03:002010-03-15T23:19:00.499-03:00YOUTUBE: Kinorhyncha high power<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c71retbkBvQ&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c71retbkBvQ&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></center>Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34919222.post-146618278631647862010-03-12T16:23:00.002-03:002010-03-12T16:29:16.112-03:00ONTA XLI Annual Meeting information available<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32RHQpgui72P_1e2mqp9v2BktkyFsnk9pv27syAZzQMT072cXHkD2pbtme-SZI1JDCUGmuTykzA_oFV-0IChqn7DVhy1L7WMGBdddUzdpiz2pPk8xE3IBrWGbSRdBD8e_gDKo/s1600-h/onta+2010.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32RHQpgui72P_1e2mqp9v2BktkyFsnk9pv27syAZzQMT072cXHkD2pbtme-SZI1JDCUGmuTykzA_oFV-0IChqn7DVhy1L7WMGBdddUzdpiz2pPk8xE3IBrWGbSRdBD8e_gDKo/s400/onta+2010.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447830534395737794" /></a><br /><br />The first information about the <strong>ONTA XLI Annual Meeting</strong>, Quito (Equador) 19 - 24 September 2010, now can be read on the ONTA web site, <a href="http://www.ontaweb.org/">here</a>.<br /><br />The online registration and abstracts submission started on 8 March.Meiofauna Brasilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335608503739038213noreply@blogger.com0
