Copepods are a subclass of the arthropod class Crustacea. They act as dominant herbivores and small predators in the planktonic ecosystems of oceans, estuaries, and lakes. Copepods are likely the largest assemblage of complex animals on earth. These strikingly beautiful small crustaceans are of wide ecological significance and as complex and precisely adapted as insects. Yet few biologists and others interested in animals are familiar with them. In Oar Feet and Opal Teeth, Charles B. Miller introduces these small crustaceans and the scientists devoting their careers to revealing their biology. In twenty-one chapters, Miller details the defining features and general biology of copepods. They typically have four or five pairs of oar-like feet to drive escape jumps. Teeth on mandible extensions are formed with siliceous minerals akin to opal.

Contamination often occurs due to use of disinfectants with chloramines, fertilizers, waste disposal and from natural processes. Due to their natural presence, utilising AOBs to treat water is viewed as an attractive solution, but greater knowledge of their biochemical processes and measurement of their efficacy is required.    Ideal for postgraduates and researchers in a variety of disciplines, this book covers the ecology, genomics, physiology and biochemistry of AOBs and their presence in wastewater, and the challenges, opportunities and potential applications for nitrification and ammonia removal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental Omics: A New Era to Study Ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria and Its Application in Bioremediation in the 21st Century;Nitrification in the Ocean: A Systematic Review;Anammox Bacteria and Its Application in Waste Water Treatment Plants;The Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation Process: Inhibition, Challenges and Opportunities;Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria in Wastewater Treatment; Heterotrophic Nitrification and Aerobic Denitrification (HN-AD) Process;Ecophysiology and Genomics Of N-Cycling Microbes in Environment;Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Metabolism of Unique Anammox Bacteria;Microbial Nitrogen Transformation and Recovery in Wastewater: Current Strategies and Applications;Nitrite-oxidizing Bacteria: Cultivation, Growth Physiology, and Chemotaxonomy;Quantitative Methodologies for Determining the Amount and Structure of AOB at the Transcriptional Level in Wastewater Treatment Plants","brand":"Royal Society of Chemistry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887996809559,"sku":"9781839166877","price":141.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781839166877.jpg?v=1791478327"},{"product_id":"wild-waters-a-wildlife-and-water-lovers-companion-to-the-aquatic-world-9781839811005","title":"Wild Waters: A wildlife and water lover's","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout seventy-one per cent of the Earth’s surface is water, and even on dry land we remain closely connected to aquatic life.

With a particular focus on aqueous resource conservation and restoration, this is a vital, timely guide to a potentially life-saving s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Fluoride in groundwater: distribution, sources, processes, analysis and treatment techniques - A review\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Geochemical sources, aqueous geochemistry, human health risk of fluoride enriched groundwater and its remedial measures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Spatial Distribution of Arsenic Contamination in India:  A Systematic Review\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Arsenic Contamination of Groundwater in Indo-Gangetic Plain\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Soil-Water Interactions and Arsenic Enrichment in Groundwater\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Arsenic contamination in groundwater and its removal strategies with special emphasis on nano zerovalent iron\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Chemical speciation of chromium and arsenic and biogeochemical cycle in the aquatic system\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Occurrences and mobility of Uranium in soil profile due to groundwater-soil interaction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Study of the rate of CO2 consumption with silicate and carbonate weathering in aquatic system\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Carbonate chemistry, carbon cycle and its sequestration in aquatic system\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Recent trends in fate, transport, and transformation of inorganic and organic carbon in freshwater reservoirs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Role of microbes in controlling the geochemical composition of aquatic ecosystems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Impacts of Pollution on the Hydrogeochemical and Microbial Community of Aquatic Ecosystems in Bayelsa State, Southern Nigeria\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Aquatic eco-systems under influence of climate change and anthropogenic activities: Potential threats and its mitigation strategies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Role of Stable Isotopes in Groundwater Resource Management\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Assessment of causes and Impact of Sand mining on River ecosystem\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Nutrient dynamics in the Polar Ice Sheets and Mountain Glaciers: a review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407178998103,"sku":"9781119870531","price":128.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119870531.jpg?v=1730498450"},{"product_id":"ecology-of-freshwater-nematodes-9781789243635","title":"Ecology of Freshwater Nematodes","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNematodes are incontestably the most numerous and the most diverse metazoans in freshwater habitats, and these properties bestow exceptional significance to their role in the environment. An array of functional roles has been attributed to them: they are grazers on bacteria and primary producers, regulators of decomposition of plant material, predators, prey for other animals, and closely associated symbionts of bacteria and other organisms. Freshwater nematodes are central in the context of environmental monitoring, pollution assessments, global warming and food webs, and this is increasingly being recognized. Moreover, the short generation time (a few days to months) of many species makes nematodes ideal for laboratory studies. This book: Provides a follow-up to Freshwater Nematodes: Ecology and Taxonomy (2006). Offers guidelines for studying the ecology of free-living nematodes, including detailed protocols and case studies. Promotes free-living nematodes as model organisms for studies in a broad range of research fields. Despite the recognized importance of nematodes across ecosystems, many species of free-living nematodes have yet to be discovered, and essential knowledge gaps remain. Ecology of Freshwater Nematodes provides an overview of research efforts in this field, and is an important resource for researchers in the field of nematology and ecology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction to Freshwater Nematodes in Ecology: Current Knowledge and Research Chapter 2: Sampling and Processing of Freshwater Nematodes with Emphasis on Molecular Methods Chapter 3: Species Composition and Distribution of Free-living Nematodes in Lakes and Streams Chapter 4: Nematodes from Extreme and Unusual Freshwater Habitats Chapter 5: Dispersal of Free-living Nematodes Chapter 6: Feeding Ecology of Free-living Nematodes Chapter 7: Role of Nematodes in the Food Web: Nematodes as Predator and Prey Chapter 8: Production of Freshwater Nematodes Chapter 9: Freshwater Nematodes in Metacommunity Studies Chapter 10: Single- and Multi-species Toxicity Testing with Nematodes Chapter 11: Freshwater Nematodes as Bioindicators in Field Studies – The NemaSPEAR[%]-index Chapter 12: Case Studies with Nematodes from the Individual to Ecosystem Level","brand":"CABI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49412617077079,"sku":"9781789243635","price":96.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789243635.jpg?v=1730517377"},{"product_id":"water-on-earth-physicochemical-and-biological-properties-9781848214774","title":"Water on Earth: Physicochemical and Biological","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe presence of water on Earth is discussed in this book using various theories about its origin as a basis.

Marine Community Ecology and Conservation was written to give advanced undergraduate and graduate students a current overview of what is known about the structure, organization, and conservation of organism assemblages that live on the sea floor. It largely focuses on advancements over the past decade since the publication of Marine Community Ecology (2001). Each chapter is written by leading researchers to give students an up-to-date look at these communities, and what remains to be learned about them.  The book is organized into three parts. The first part explores general processes that generate pattern in benthic communities. These introductory chapters examine how physical and biological forces interacting with historical and genetic constraints operate to structure marine communities. The second part examines the ecology of specific marine benthic community types, ranging from rocky shores and soft substrate habitats to kelp forests to coral reefs. These chapters are intended to be the most current summaries available of our understanding of these communities. The final part examines conservation and management issues of marine communities. The closing chapters emphasize how pervasively and profoundly marine communities are impacted by humans and outlines how we can use our understanding of these systems to manage and preserve the valuable services and resources they provide.  Marine Community Ecology and Conservation is extensively referenced and includes a bibliography of over 5,000 citations.
