Richard Horton, director de la revista médica The Lancet, analiza aquí la respuesta dada a esta emergencia sanitaria por los diferentes gobiernos en su intento por contener el nuevo coronavirus. Expone los errores de muchos líderes políticos y sus asesores científicos, que permitieron que ocurrieran cientos de miles de muertes innecesarias y la peor crisis económica mundial en tres siglos.Se supone que vivimos en una época en que la especie humana se ha convertido en la influencia dominante sobre el medio ambiente, pero la Covid-19 ha revelado la fragilidad de nuestras sociedades y la rapidez con que nuestros sistemas pueden venirse abajo. Tenemos que aprender de esta pandemia, y aprender rápido, porque la próxima puede llegar antes de lo que pensamos.A partir de sus conocimientos científicos y médicos, Horton explica las medidas que deberían ponerse en marcha sin demora, a escala nacional e internacional, para impedir que vuelva a ocurrir otra catástrofe de este tipo.

Oxford University Press Limnoecology
Book SynopsisThis 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.This accessible text is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in limnology, freshwater ecology, and aquatic biology as well as the many professional limnologists, ecologists and conservation biologists requiring a concise but authoritative overview of the topicTrade ReviewThis is an excellent introduction to what is arguably Earth's most valuable resiurce. * The Quarterly Review of Biology *'I am unaware of any other textbook that explains basic ecological principles and evolutionary oriented, ecological thinking better that this one.' Journal of Plankton Research, Vol. 30. No. 4. pages 489-490 2008'...an excellent text that I would not hesitate to use for teaching courses in ecology and limnology...Lampert and Sommer's updated Limnoecology will make an excellent resource for students of aquatic ecology at all stages. I have often handed the first edition to my starting graduate students to read. Now I have an updated version that will be even more useful.' Volume 16 (4), December 2007Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Pictorial Atlas of Soilborne Fungal Plant
Book SynopsisThe Pictorial Atlas of Soilborne Fungal Plant Pathogens and Diseases describes the soilborne fungal diseases caused by Oomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Deuteromycetous (Anamorphic) fungi. Soilborne fungal diseases are significant as both environmental and agricultural problems, yet it is difficult to understand the ecology of pathogenic fungi and its effective control. This book provides very detailed information on many of the commonly and not so commonly encountered groups of soilborne fungi diseases. It will be a useful reference for those teaching and conducting research in mycology, plant pathology, soilborne plant diseases, and the ecology of fungal communities.Table of ContentsPictorial Atlas Design and Usage. Diseases Caused by Oomycetes and Related Topics. Diseases Caused by Zygomycetes and Related Topics. Diseases Caused by Ascomycetes and Related Topics. Diseases Caused by Basidiomycetes and Related Topics. Diseases Caused by Deuteromycetous (Anamorphic) Fungi and Related Topics. Mutual Relationships Among Fungi and Related Topics. References.

Cambridge University Press Nitrogen Phosphorus and Sulphur Utilisation by Fungi Symposium of the British Mycological Society Held at The University of Birmingham April 1988 Society Symposia Series Number 15
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1989, this book presents a detailed analysis of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur utilization by fungi. Based on the 1988 British Mycological Society symposium, it is broadly based, covering four basic areas: physiology and metabolism of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur by fungi; role of these minerals in pathogenic relationships with plants; their role in mutualistic relationships with plants; and the role of saprotrophic fungi in cycling of the elements through ecosystems. This book will be of interest to research workers, advanced students and teachers of mycology, plant pathology, plant nutrition and soil ecology.Table of ContentsContributors; Preface; 1. Some perspectives on nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism in fungi D. H. Jennings; 2. The genetics and biochemistry of nitrate assimilation in ascomycete fungi A. B. Tomsett; 3.
