Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, United Nations Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development stated that 'the impact of helping migrants and their families will be lasting and global if we link remittances to other financial services and make them more affordable and more relevant to their needs."" Remittances are a critical source of financing for most developing countries. The importance of remittances goes beyond numbers. For many households in developing countries, they are probably the most stable source of primary or additional income.

The value and future of saproxylic diversity.Fossils document the existence of trees and wood-associated organisms from almost 400 million years ago, and today there are between 400,000 and 1 million wood-inhabiting species in the world. This is the first book to synthesise the natural history and conservation needs of wood-inhabiting organisms. Presenting a thorough introduction to biodiversity in decaying wood, the book studies the rich diversity of fungi, insects and vertebrates that depend upon dead wood. It describes the functional diversity of these organisms and their specific habitat requirements in terms of host trees, decay phases, tree dimensions, microhabitats and the surrounding environment. Recognising the threats posed by timber extraction and forest management, the authors also present management options for protecting and maintaining the diversity of these species in forests as well as in agricultural landscapes and urban parks.Ecology, biodiversity, and conservation.Forest biodiversityForest litterBiodegradationWoodDeteriorationForest ecologyWood-decaying fungiSaproxylic insectsForest biodiversity.Forest litterBiodegradation.WoodDeterioration.Forest ecology.Wood-decaying fungi.Saproxylic insects.577.34SCI020000bisacshStokland Jogeir N.1485361Siitonen JuhaJonsson Bengt GunnarUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910779154003321Biodiversity in dead wood3704463UNINA
