| 要約、抄録、注釈等 |
"Coral reefs represent the most spectacular and diverse marine ecosystem on the planet as well a being a critical source of income for millions of people. However, the combined effects of human activity have led to a rapid decline in the health of the reefs worldwide, with a significant proportion having been completely destroyed. This process has continued and even accelerated in many areas since the publication of the first edition in 2009. At the same time, there has been a near doubling in the number of scientific papers that have been written in this short time about coral reef biology. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, incorporating this significant increase in knowledge whilst retaining the book's focus as a concise and affordable overview of the field.","'The biology of coral reefs' provides an integrated overview of the function, physiology, ecology and behaviour of coral reef organisms. Each chapter is enriched with a selection of 'boxes' on specific aspects written by internationally recognised experts. As with other books in the Biology of Habitats series, the emphasis in this book is on the organisms that build, regulate and dominate this marine environment, and the factors that affect them including pollution, conservation, climate change and experimental aspects. Indeed, particular emphasis is placed on conservation and management due to the habitat's critically endangered status. A global range of examples is employed which gives the book international relevance.","This accessible text is intended for students, naturalists and professionals and assumes no previous knowledge of coral reef biology. It is particularly suitable for both senior undergraduate and graduate students (in departments of biology, geography and environmental sciences) taking courses in coral reef ecology, marine biology, oceanography and conservation biology, as well as the many professional ecologists and conservation biologists requiring a concise overview of the topic. It will also be of relevance and use to reef managers, recreational divers and amateur naturalists." -- rear cover.
