Bibliotheca Diatomologica, Band 54.
Bacillariophyceae from Karstic Wetlands in Mexico. Dedicated to Dr. Arturo Gómez-Pompa. Eberto Novelo; Rosaluz Tavera; Claudia Ibarra. 2007. ISBN 978-3-443-57045-3. 136 pp., 3 figures, 21 plates. Paperback. $88.00
This 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.

Limnoecology: The Ecology of Lakes and Streams. Second Edition. Winfried Lampert and Ulrich Sommer. Due September 2007. ISBN: 0199213925. 336 pp., 8 halftones,147 line illustrations. Hardcover. $150.00
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).
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.
