These bivalves play important roles in freshwater ecosystems and were once both culturally and economically valuable as sources of food, pearls, and mother-of-pearl. Today, however, hundreds of species of these mussels are extinct or endangered. David L. Strayer provides a critical synthesis of the factors that control the distribution and abundance of pearly mussels. Using empirical analyses and models, he assesses the effects of dispersal, habitat quality, availability of fish hosts, adequate food, predators, and parasites. He also addresses conservation issues that apply to other inhabitants of fresh waters around the globe and other pressing issues in contemporary ecology.Freshwater ecology series ;v. 1.Freshwater musselsEcologyElectronic books.Freshwater musselsEcology.594/.4176BStrayer David Lowell1955-1034791MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454254003321Freshwater mussel ecology2464319UNINA00445nas 2200181z- 450 99108025939033212741-1621(CKB)4340000000231824(EXLCZ)99434000000023182420180129cuuuuuuuu -u- -engMarketing (France)2273-7243 Marketing JOURNAL9910802593903321Marketing (France)3882608UNINA04558nam 2200745 450 991081057270332120211014031301.03-11-026340-810.1515/9783110264012(CKB)3580000000000529(EBL)1130384(SSID)ssj0001124124(PQKBManifestationID)11960074(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001124124(PQKBWorkID)11076934(PQKB)10293575(MiAaPQ)EBC1130384(DE-B1597)172224(OCoLC)855226579(OCoLC)858761960(DE-B1597)9783110264012(Au-PeEL)EBL1130384(CaPaEBR)ebr10786199(CaONFJC)MIL807739(PPN)17555448X(EXLCZ)99358000000000052920131124h20132013 uy 0engurnn#---|u||utxtccrMetric Eembeddings Bilipschitz and coarse embeddings into Banach Spaces /Mikhail I.

Open problems --Bibliography --Author index --Subject indexEmbeddings of discrete metric spaces into Banach spaces recently became an important tool in computer science and topology. The purpose of the book is to present some of the most important techniques and results, mostly on bilipschitz and coarse embeddings. The topics include: (1) Embeddability of locally finite metric spaces into Banach spaces is finitely determined; (2) Constructions of embeddings; (3) Distortion in terms of Poincaré inequalities; (4) Constructions of families of expanders and of families of graphs with unbounded girth and lower bounds on average degrees; (5) Banach spaces which do not admit coarse embeddings of expanders; (6) Structure of metric spaces which are not coarsely embeddable into a Hilbert space; (7) Applications of Markov chains to embeddability problems; (8) Metric characterizations of properties of Banach spaces; (9) Lipschitz free spaces. Substantial part of the book is devoted to a detailed presentation of relevant results of Banach space theory and graph theory. The final chapter contains a list of open problems. Extensive bibliography is also included. Each chapter, except the open problems chapter, contains exercises and a notes and remarks section containing references, discussion of related results, and suggestions for further reading. The book will help readers to enter and to work in a very rapidly developing area having many important connections with different parts of mathematics and computer science.De Gruyter Studies in MathematicsBanach spacesLipschitz spacesStochastic partial differential equationsBanach Space Theory.Bilipschitz Embedding.Coarse Embedding.Embedding of Discrete Metric Spaces.Functional Analysis.Graph Theory.Banach spaces.Lipschitz spaces.Stochastic partial differential equations.515.732515/.732Ostrovskii Mikhail I1602845MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810572703321Metric Eembeddings3926932UNINA
