The Biology of the Deep Ocean de Peter Herring

The Biology of the Deep Ocean: Biology of Habitats

Autor Peter Herring
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2001
Erratum: Table 11.1 on page 241 has been mis-set. The entries for the phyla Annelida, Bryozoa, Cnidaria, Echiura, Mollusca, Placozoa, Porifera and Rotifera should all be moved one column to the right. The deep sea environment is the most extensive on our planet. Its denizens are normally unseen but whenever they are exposed to view they are regarded as bizarre aliens from a different world. The Biology of the Deep Ocean takes a close look at this apparently hostile world and explains how its inhabitants are exquisitely adapted to survive and flourish within it.

Recenzii

There are not that many comprehensive books dealing with deep-sea habitats. This one can be recommended, because it gives much for its price and because it is interesting for everyone who wants to know how deep-sea organisms are able to survive in a decidedly hostile world.
... written with clarity and in a readable style ... I recommend this textbook for upper-level undergraduates and masters-level graduate students ... The book is a timely contribution from an eminent deep-sea biologist. I applaud Peter Herring for inspiring students and scholars with a classical book on deep-sea biology.
The real strength of this book is its treatment of four discrete areas of sensory adaptations to living in the dark, deep sea, where visual cues do not play a role as in shallow, photic habitats.
I applaud the author for his realistic and unbiased recognition of the deap-sea benthic habitats.
... marine science students, in particular, will find its breadth and depth of information invaluable. The Biology of the Deep Ocean has certainly become an essential addition to my bookshelf and Professor Herring will no doubt find himself quoted in many a BBC televsion programme in future!
... this book provides a very thorough overview, not just of life in the deep ocean, but of marine ecosystems as a whole.
It's an absolutely fascinating read and is extremely comprehensive, with a wealth of detail throughout.
... a wealth of fascinating physical and biological facts and figures relating to the deep ocean ecosystem and its inhabitants.
... Strongly recommended.
... an excellent introduction for undergraduates and teachers wanting a better overview of this fascinating area.
