publication describes the diatom flora of freshwater environments from karstic
wetlands from El Eden Ecological Reserve, Mexico. Environmental parameters and
latitude are found to influence the diatom flora significantly. Encountered
species and their distribution are documented. Of the 156 taxa identified in
this location, 29 have a tropical distribution, 76 are considered alkaliphilous.
As a result of this study three new combinations and 9 new taxa are
described.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff size=3>Bibliotheca Diatomologica,

$150.00<BR>This concise, readable introduction to limnology (the science of
investigating the structure and function of inland waters), places the subject
in the context of modern ecology. Unlike most ecological textbooks, which use
examples taken almost exclusively from terrestrial systems, this book integrates
the fields of limnology and ecology by presenting empirical data drawn entirely
from freshwater ecosystems in order to advance ecological theories
(limnoecology).<BR>This second edition builds upon the strengths of the first
with the structure of the book following the same hierarchical concept of
ecology, from habitat properties, individuals, populations, coupled populations
and communities to ecosystems. However, it has been thoroughly revised
throughout to incorporate findings from new technologies and methods (notably
the rapid development of molecular genetic methods and stable isotope
techniques) that have allowed a rapid and ongoing development of the field.
There is a new emphasis on food webs, species diversity and ecosystem
functioning, climate change, and conservation management. Key ecological
questions are examined in the light of the latest experimental evidence.
Throughout the text evolutionary theory is applied to an understanding of
freshwater ecosystems, thereby filling a niche between traditional limnology and
evolutionary ecology.<BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff size=3>If you would
