Freshwater Arctic Tundra Wetlands --IndexWetlands are prominent landscapes throughout North America. The general characteristics of wetlands are controversial, thus there has not been a systematic assessment of different types of wetlands in different parts of North America, or a compendium of the threats to their conservation. Wetland Habitats of North America adopts a geographic and habitat approach, in which experts familiar with wetlands from across North America provide analyses and syntheses of their particular region of study. Addressing a broad audience of students, scientists, engineers, environmental managers, and policy makers, this book reviews recent, scientifically rigorous literature directly relevant to understanding, managing, protecting, and restoring wetland ecosystems of North America.WetlandsNorth AmericaWetland ecologyNorth AmericaWetland conservationNorth AmericaWetlandsWetland ecologyWetland conservation577.68097Batzer Darold P1928055Baldwin Andrew H1928056MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911087337703321Wetland habitats of North America4676416UNINA03116nam 2200685Ia 450 991110475960332120251117004525.0978661175271297812817527101281752711978143568481214356848189780520942530052094253110.1525/9780520942530(CKB)1000000000576800(EBL)358940(OCoLC)560506205(SSID)ssj0000196287(PQKBManifestationID)11178738(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000196287(PQKBWorkID)10141879(PQKB)11061023(StDuBDS)EDZ0000055756(MiAaPQ)EBC358940(OCoLC)437222515(MdBmJHUP)muse30527(DE-B1597)519035(DE-B1597)9780520942530(Perlego)551221(EXLCZ)99100000000057680020080129d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMalformed frogs the collapse of aquatic ecosystems /Michael Lannoo1st ed.Berkeley University of California Pressc20081 online resource (294 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780520255883 0520255887 Includes bibliographical references (p. 217-264) and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Solutions -- Species Affected -- Notes -- IndexThe widespread appearance of frogs with deformed bodies has generated much press coverage over the past decade. Frogs with extra limbs or digits, missing limbs or digits, or misaligned appendages raise an alarming question: "Are deformed humans next?" Taking a fresh look at this disturbing environmental problem, this reference provides a balanced overview of the science behind the malformed frog phenomenon. Bringing together data from ecology, parasitology, and other disciplines, Michael Lannoo considers the possible causes of these deformities, tells which frogs have been affected, and addresses questions about what these malformations might mean to human populations. Featuring high-quality radiographic images, Malformed Frogs suggests that our focus should be on finding practical solutions, a key component of which will be controlling chemical, nutrient, and pesticide runoff into wetlands.FrogsAbnormalitiesFrogsResearchFrogsAbnormalities.FrogsResearch.571.9/51789Lannoo Michael J1925490MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911104759603321Malformed frogs4673041UNINA
