Driven by a desire to advance science, as well as by ego, pride, honor, insecurity, religion and other clashing sensibilities, they struggled to absorb the implications of evolution after Darwin. In the process, they dramatically reshaped the study of birds. Daniel Lewis here explores the professionalization of ornithology through one of its key figures: Robert Ridgway, the Smithsonian Institution's first curator of birds and one of North America's most important natural scientists. Exploring a world in which the uses of language, classification and accountability between amateurs and professionals played essential roles, Lewis offers a vivid introduction to Ridgway and shows how his work fundamentally influenced the direction of American and international ornithology. He explores the inner workings of the Smithsonian and the role of collectors working in the field and reveals previously unknown details of the ornithological journal The Auk and the untold story of the color dictionaries for which Ridgway is known. 606 $aOrnithologists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aOrnithology 615 0$aOrnithologists 615 0$aOrnithology. 676 $a598.092 686 $aBIO015000$aNAT004000$aSCI070040$2bisacsh 700 $aLewis$b Daniel$f1959-$01543793 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789911403321 996 $aThe feathery tribe$93797425 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04277nam 2200613Ia 450 001 9910780603803321 005 20231026115222.0 010 $a1-383-02818-4 010 $a0-19-158841-5 010 $a1-280-91400-9 010 $a9786610914005 035 $a(CKB)2450000000000676 035 $a(EBL)1173597 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000290055 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12112481 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000290055 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10403539 035 $a(PQKB)10201149 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1173597 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10686676 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL91400 035 $a(OCoLC)843198784 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1173597 035 $a(EXLCZ)992450000000000676 100 $a20020327d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent. 182 $cc$2rdamedia. 183 $acr$2rdacarrier. 200 14$aThe biology of the deep ocean$b[electronic resource] /$fPeter Herring 210 $aOxford ;$aNew York $cOxford University Press$d2002 215 $a1 online resource (325 pages) 225 1 $aBiology of habitats 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 1 $a0-19-854955-5 311 1 $a0-19-854956-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Contents; Chapter 1 The deep-sea dimension; The scale of the task; The vertical dimension; Differences between marine and terrestrial ecosystems; Measurements and methods; Biological sampling; Conclusion; Chapter 2 Living, growing, and daylight; The fuel source: primary production; The seasonal cycle; Measurements of primary production; Grazing and secondary production; Conclusion; Chapter 3 Life at the bottom; The benthic environment; Sampling the benthos; Food resources; Hydrothermal vents and cold seeps; The hadal zone; Spatial heterogeneity; Conclusion; Chapter 4 Patterns and changesGlobal views and patterns; Horizontal distributions; Vertical distributions; Conclusion; Chapter 5 On being efficient; Energy management; Maximizing energy input-how to eat a lot; Maximizing assimilation efficiency; Minimizing energy output-how to keep up in the water; Metabolism, energy, and pressure; Conclusion; Chapter 6 Feeling and hearing; Sensing vibrations; Vibrations in water; The hydrodynamic receptor system of fishes; Sound production by fishes; Invertebrate hydrodynamic receptors; Sounds of marine mammals; Electroreception and magnetic cues; Conclusion; Chapter 7 Chemical messagesTaste or smell?; Chemical cues and receptors; Conclusion; Chapter 8 Seeing in the dark; Light in the ocean; Eyes and their design conflicts; Fish; Invertebrates; Conclusion; Chapter 9 Camouflage, colour, and lights; Camouflage and colour; Lights in a dark environment: bioluminescence; Conclusion; Chapter 10 Size, sex, and seasonality; Life histories; Fecundity and egg size; Body size; Sex; Juvenile characters (progenesis); Seasonality; Conclusion; Chapter 11 A wonderful variety of life: biodiversity of the deep-sea fauna; Origins and habitats; What is biodiversity?

Its denizens are normally unseen but whenever they are exposed to view they are regarded as bizarre aliens from a different world. The Biology of the Deep Ocean takes a close look at this apparently hostile world and explains how its inhabitants are exquisitely adapted to survive and flourish within it.The book begins with an analysis of how conditions in the oceanic environment differ from those in the familiar terrestrial world and then describes the techniques (and ingenuity) required to reveal the populations inhabiting the co 410 0$aBiology of habitats. 606 $aDeep-sea biology 606 $aMarine biology 615 0$aDeep-sea biology. 615 0$aMarine biology. 676 $a578.77/7 700 $aHerring$b Peter J$0625704 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780603803321 996 $aBiology of the deep ocean$91221683 997 $aUNINA
