Book Synopsis Nematodes as Environmental Indicators by : Michael John Wilson

Download or read book Nematodes as Environmental Indicators written by Michael John Wilson. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nematodes are the most wide spread multicellular animals in nature and analysis of nematodes in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments as well as their role and function in ecosystems, can be used for environmental monitoring. Compared to other organisms, they offer the greatest potential as bioindicators and can be used to study gene expression in relation to environmental challenges, to monitor changing impacts on the environment and in laboratory ecotoxicity tests. This volume addresses classical and molecular approaches to nematode community analysis, the contemporary field of nematodes as biosensors, as well as genomic aspects of nematode bioindicators. In addition, the case studies stress the importance of these bioindicators and demonstrate the commercial potential of these technologies.

Book Synopsis Nematodes as Environmental Indicators of Keoladeo National Park by : Ather Hussain

Download or read book Nematodes as Environmental Indicators of Keoladeo National Park written by Ather Hussain. This book was released on 2015-02-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keoladeo National Park (KNP), a world heritage site, was declared a 'Ramsar site' in October 1981 on the basis of its ecological, biological and limnological importance. It represents a blend of dry grasslands, woodlands, swamps and wetland thus reflecting tremendous diversity in the flora and fauna. It is a fact that KNP has been the focus of many earlier studies and faunal surveys but the nematode faunal diversity has been the aspect virtually neglected in all such work. The second author thus conceived this problem and submitted a proposal to Ministry of Environment and Forests (MEF), New Delhi. The present work has seen the light of the day due to the curious efforts of the second author who executed the pioneering study on the nematodes of the KNP. This book brings about a detailed account of the nematodes and their ecological relevance in the wetland's subterranean food web. Due to their specificity, adaptability and plasticity to cope up diverse environment types, these organisms serve as excellent bioindicators. Thus the degree of disturbance or the enrichment and the maturity status of the environment have been evaluated using these cost-effective biological models.

Book Synopsis Freshwater Nematodes by : Eyualem Abebe

Download or read book Freshwater Nematodes written by Eyualem Abebe. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains 22 chapters on various aspects of freshwater nematode ecology and taxonomy. Subjects covered include the techniques for processing freshwater nematodes, the composition and distribution of free living freshwater nematodes, their abundance, biomass and diversity, the production of freshwater nematodes, their feeding ecology, patterns in size structure of freshwater nematode communities, different nematode habitats, and computation and application of nematode community indices. It provides descriptions with figures of each taxon at the genus level and above to currently valid genera. For every genus, a complete list of species, with an emphasis on biogeography, is given for primarily freshwater taxa and a list of only those species reported from freshwater bodies is given for the genera that are considered primarily non-freshwater. This book is intended to provide a useful reference to students, beginners and established researchers in the field of freshwater nematology, benthologists, invertebrate biologists, limnologists, ecologists, microbiologists and soil biologists.
