Oceanography And Marine Biology: An Annual Review: Volume 36
Alan Ansell,Margaret Barnes,R N Gibson,R. N. Gibson | 1998-10-09 00:00:00 | Taylor & Francis | 468 | Marine Biology
Oceanography and Marine Biology: an Annual Review considers basic areas of marine research, returning to them when appropriate in future volumes, and deals with subjects of special and topical importance in the field of marine biology.  The thirty-sixth volume follows closely the objectives and style of the earlier well recieved volumes, continuing to regard marine sciences - with all their various aspects - as a unit.  Physical, chemical and biological aspects of marine science are dealt with by experts actively engaged in their own field.  The series is an essential reference text for research workers and students in all fields of marine science and related subjects, and is consistently among the highest ranking impact factors for the marine biology category of the citation indices compiled by the Institute for Scientific Education.

Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review, Volume 43 (Oceanography and Marine Biology - An Annual Review) (Vol 43)

Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review, Volume 43 (Oceanography and Marine Biology - An Annual Review) (Vol 43)
R. N. Gibson,R. J. A. Atkinson,J. D. M. Gordon | 2005-06-24 00:00:00 | CRC Press | 600 | Marine Biology
Ever-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has answered this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes more than forty years ago. Its objective is an annual consideration of basic areas of marine research, dealing with subjects of special or immediate importance, adding new subjects as they arise.

The volumes maintain a unified perspective on the marine sciences. Physical, chemical, and biological aspects of marine science are dealt with by experts actively engaged in these fields. This essential reference text for researchers and students in all fields of marine science finds a place in libraries of marine stations and institutes, as well as universities. It consistently ranks among the highest in impact factors for the marine biology category of the citation indices compiled by the Institute for Scientific Information.

Volume 43 contains analysis on cold seep sediments, unburnt coal in the marine environment, biofiltration and biofouling on artificial structures in Europe, ecology of rafting in marine ecosystems, effects of globalisation in marine environments, and much more.

Marine Metapopulations

Marine Metapopulations
Jacob P. Kritzer,Peter F. Sale | 2006-04-20 00:00:00 | Academic Press | 576 | Marine Biology
Technological improvements have greatly increased the ability of marine scientists to collect and analyze data over large spatial scales, and the resultant insights attainable from interpreting those data vastly increase understanding of poplation dynamics, evolution and biogeography. Marine Metapopulations provides a synthesis of existing information and understanding, and frames the most important future directions and issues.

* First book to systematically apply metapopulation theory directly to marine systems
*Contributions from leading international ecologists and fisheries biologists
*Perspectives on a broad array of marine organisms and ecosystems, from coastal estuaries to shallow reefs to deep-sea hydrothermal vents
*Critical science for improved management of marine resources
*Paves the way for future research on large-scale spatial ecology of marine systems
Reviews
We chose this book for our weekly lab meetings. While we didn't get to all chapters, we concentrated on ones that would be more useful for our research.



This is an okay text but works better as a simple holder for specific chapters. It would be an excellent book for each chapter but to read the whole book it gets a little redundant at points. I will reference it, I'm sure, but doubt I'll go back to reading the other chapters.
