A Guide to Reproducible Code in Ecology and Evolution
This PDF covers the following topics related to Ecology :
Introduction, A simple reproducible project workflow, Organising projects for
reproducibility, Programming, Reproducible reports, Version control, Archiving,
Resources, Acknowledgements.
Applied ecology is a framework for the application of knowledge about ecosystems so that
actions can be taken to create a better balance and harmony between people and
nature in order to reduce human impact on other beings and their habitats.
Topics covered includes: Conservation Management, Habitat Creation,
Agro-Ecological Systems, Wetland Engineering, Disease Transmission, Breeding and
Reintroduction of Rare Species, Environmental Valuation, Nature Tourism, The
Endangered Resources, New Societies and Cultures, Case Studies.
Ecosystem services as
a concept plays a key role in solving global environmental and human ecological
crises and associated other problems, especially today when the sixth major
extinction event of the history of the biosphere is in progress, and humanity
can easily become a victim of it. The aim of this book is to give an
overview and report from the frontiers of research of this important and
interesting multidisciplinary area.
This note covers productivity and biogeochemical cycles in ecosystems,
trophic dynamics, community structure and stability, competition and predation,
evolution and natural selection, population growth and physiological ecology.
There is particular emphasis placed on aquatic systems.

This book, Landscape Ecology has written
to present major and efficient applications in landscape ecology, as well as to
propose a solid action for this category of topics. The book aims to illustrate
various treatment methods of the land-use models impact on landscape ecology
creation.
Chemical ecology has made major progress in recent decades. Topics
covered includes: The Chemistry of Poisons in Amphibian Skin, The Chemistry of
Phyletic Dominance, Chemical Signals in the Marine Environment, Analysis of
Chemical Signals by Nervous Systems, Chemical Ecology.
This note provides an
introduction to microbial methods applicable to the study of ecosystems. Topics
covered includes: Bacterial Abundance, Bacterial Production, Extracellular
Enzyme Assays, Microbial Biogeochemistry: Metabolism in Winogradsky columns,
Microbial Food Webs: Bacteria-phytoplankton competition, Flagellate and ciliate
grazing on bacteria, Molecular Techniques.
This note covers the
following topics: Forests and Society, Ecosystem Concept and Forest Ecosystem
Goods, Forest Population Ecology, Forest Community Ecology, Forest Production
Ecology, Forest Nutrition and Biogeochemistry, Forest Silviculture, Forest
Restoration, Forest Restoration and Forest Conservation.
This practical dictionary is for the
use of students, teachers, and investigators in ecology and related fields such
as range management, forestry, wildlife, conservation, agronomy, and limnology.
The aim of this dictionary is to fill the need for definitions of many new terms
that have come into usage during the past thirty years and also to include many
of the old terms that are used in current literature.
