Full text

Abstract:

This chapter describes the taxonomy of dinoflagellates. Dinoflagellates occur in marine, brackish, and freshwater habitats, although they are most diverse in the marine environment. About 90% are planktonic and responsible for a large proportion of primary productivity. Their evolutionary history and ability to acquire genes horizontally from unrelated organisms make dinoflagellates a functionally diverse and ecologically important group. The chapter begins with a general description of dinoflagellates. It then discusses their life cycle, ecology and distribution, harmful species, and systematic placement within the tree of life, as well as the key marine representative. It also provides information on the taxonomic authorities responsible for the classification adopted and recent changes which might have occurred, and it lists relevant taxonomic sources.

Abstract:

This chapter describes the taxonomy of scyphozoa and non-colonial hydrozoa. The Phylum Cnidaria assembles highly diverse primitive invertebrates that carry stinging cells called cnida. The presence of cnida, which are organized in specialized structures called cnidocysts (or nematocysts), makes the organisms of this group venomous to varying degrees. The chapter covers their life cycle, ecology, and general morphology. It includes a section that indicates the systematic placement of the taxon described within the tree of life, and lists the key marine representative illustrated in the chapter (usually to genus or family level).

Abstract:

This chapter describes the taxonomy of ciliates. Ciliates can be found in almost every environment; the majority of species, however, are aquatic and occur in marine, brackish, and freshwater habitats. They play a major role in nutrient cycling in the food web; some are also capable of photosynthesis through acquisition of chloroplasts from their prey.

Abstract:

This chapter describes the taxonomy of colonial Hydrozoa. Siphonophores are pelagic organisms that can be found the whole year round, sometimes in a characteristic season, inshore and offshore at all latitudes and depths. As in all hydrozoans, they carry tentacles equipped with stinging cells (nematocysts), which are used by the colony to immobilize and kill their prey.

Abstract:

This chapter describes the taxonomy of Rotifera, which includes some of the smallest multicellular marine zooplankton. They range between 50 μ‎ to 500 μ‎m in length although some species can reach up to 3 mm in length. Rotifers are characterized by having a crown or corona of fine cilia on two lobes surrounding the mouth area which gives them their common name ‘wheel animals’although the corona only appears to rotate. The chapter covers their life cycle, ecology, and general morphology. It includes a section that indicates the systematic placement of the taxon described within the tree of life, and lists the key marine representative illustrated in the chapter (usually to genus or family level). This section also provides information on the taxonomic authorities responsible for the classification adopted, recent changes which might have occurred, and lists relevant taxonomic sources.

Abstract:

This dictionary reveals botanical information which stands behind the Latin nomenclature and Latin terminology of historical vegetable materia medica. Materia medica is a traditional name of both the plant-derived materials of any medicinal value, and the knowledge of them which evolved into pharmacognosy. The data were excerpted from scientific pharmaceutical sources published in Europe, North America (or other parts of the world but written by Europeans and Americans or by scientists educated therein) generally between 1700 and 1950.

Abstract:

This book brings together exciting accounts of life history strategies of a range of species, as well as background information on general butterfly behaviour, taxonomy and evolutionary aspects. Each chapter is written by one of Australia’s professional lepidopterists and provides a comprehensive literature review as a reference for further research for professional, amateur and student alike. Illustrated with figures, tables and colour plates, this book provides a rich source of information that will fascinate and challenge the reader to further our knowledge of the Australian butterfly fauna.

Full text

Abstract:

In this chapter, the semantics of three honeybee words from the Dravidian language Solega is discussed, with particular attention paid to methodological issues. These include sourcing naturalistic data for an under-described language, and objectively determining the boundary between core meaning elements and peripheral encyclopedic knowledge. Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) explications for perceptually similar honeybees are presented, with notes on challenging issues, such as unambiguously placing the honeybees along a gradient of physical size, as well as incorporating information on ecological relationships between honeybees and other named species. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the Solega folk taxonomy of honeybees.

Full text

Abstract:

A Guide to Southern Temperate Seagrasses describes the exceptionally diverse seagrasses in the temperate parts of the southern hemisphere. This book introduces readers to the evolution, biology and ecology of the southern temperate seagrasses and presents a visual key to allow species identification using easily recognisable features. Detailed information is presented summarising the distinctive features of each species or 'complex', with brief notes about their taxonomy, reproduction and ecology. With information provided in a highly concise format, this book allows readers to rapidly identify a particular seagrass, as well as other species that it may easily be confused with, confirm that the species occurs in a certain area, and access general information on the biology and ecology of the species. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, environmental consultants and both government and non-government agencies.

Abstract:

In anesthesia, situation awareness (SA) represents the degree to which an anesthetist perceives the information in her or his environment, comprehends the patient’s situation, and projects the patient’s situation into the future. There are three levels of SA: perception, comprehension, and projection. After perception, basic information has to be integrated, and several cognitive mechanisms enable correct, complete, and quick development of SA. These processes require long-term memory content such as mental models, similar (prototypical) situations that have been experienced earlier, automaticity, and medical knowledge including guidelines and algorithms. Several tools have the potential to provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of SA in anesthesia, including goal-directed task analysis (GDTA) and SA error taxonomy. In this chapter, the role of SA in anesthesia is illustrated, and factors are described that have the potential for either enhancing or hindering the development of adequate SA.
