Ecology of Wildlife Diseases in the Neotropics

Ecology of Wildlife Diseases in the Neotropics by Gerardo Acosta-Jamett, Andrea Chaves
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 423 Pages | ISBN : 3031505301 | 44.8 MB

This contributed volume focuses on the Neotropical region, and explores the environmental, ecological and socio-economic components that facilitate the emergence of zoonotic diseases. This book highlights the primary ecological, environmental, social, and economic variables associated with the risk of maintenance, transmission, and dissemination of emerging, re-emerging, and neglected infectious diseases, in which Neotropical vertebrates are involved. It compiles up-to-date knowledge and research for the neotropical region, as well as discusses the current needs of knowledge improvement. The chapters include various examples of the cycles of infectious diseases, all with world-wide relevance where neotropical wild vertebrates are affected or involved.

Neotropical Gradients and Their Analysis - Randall W. Myster
English | 2023 | 473 Pages | ISBN: ‎3031228472 | True PDF | 23.97 MB

The importance of the Neotropics to the world's climate, biogeochemical cycling and biodiversity cannot be questioned.  This book suggests that gradients are key to understanding both these issues and Neotropical ecosystem structure, function and dynamics in general.  Those gradients are either spatial, temporal or spatio-temporal, where many temporal and spatio-temporal gradients are initiated by disturbances (e.g., tree-fall, landslide, cultivation).  And in particular for the Neotropics, three large spatial gradients - latitude, longitude, altitude (elevation) - are of critical importance…

The Andean Cloud Forest by Randall W. Myster
English | PDF | 2021 | 226 Pages | ISBN : 3030573435 | 9.5 MB

A book focused solely on Andean Cloud Forests (ACF) has never been published. ACF are high biodiversity ecosystems in the Neotropics with a large proportion of endemic species, and are important for the hydrology of entire regions. They provide water for large parts of the Amazon basin, for example.
