This book explores the ethical dimensions of nature conservation, discussing how we value the natural world and how it can be protected in a complex context where many ethically significant interests must be carefully weighed and balanced.
Bayesian Analysis of Capture-Recapture Data with Hidden Markov Models: Theory and Case Studies in R and NIMBLE introduces ecologists and statisticians to a powerful and unifying framework for analyzing capture-recapture data.
Plants are continuously exposed to different environmental stresses that negatively impact their physiology and morphology, resulting in production reduction.
Considerable interest has developed in recent years in crucifers and particularly in their wild relatives, as they contain genetic material that may be utilized for further evolution of superior crop varieties through introgression and distant hybridization.
The scope of occupational safety and health (OSH) has evolved gradually and consistently in response to variations that are socio-political or scientific, or generated by profit-seeking.
Research establishes that symbiotic association of microbes with medicinal and herbal plants enhance the growth and accumulation of bioactive materials, and that species of microbes including bacterial and fungal species play a key role.
The scope of occupational safety and health (OSH) has evolved gradually and consistently in response to variations that are socio-political or scientific, or generated by profit-seeking.

La aparicion de los primeros cultivos transgenicos dio origen a una gran controversia entre consumidores, grupos ambientalistas, agricultores, investigadores y empresas.
Las colecciones botánicas son una fuente fundamental de información fenológica, almacenada desde años atrás; no obstante, sus re gistros no son aprovechados significativamente para generar nuevo conocimiento que enriquezca, no solo el área científica, sino también social y económica de una región dada, pues además de que la fenología permite entender el ciclo reproductivo de las plantas, favorece, por ejemplo, a campesinos que dependen de familias de importancia económica como la del agraz (Ericaceae).

Diversidad genetica de las heliconias y su aplicacion en fitorremediacion, identificacion varietal y mercadeo tiene un hilo conductor (el estudio de la diversidad genetica y la expresion fenotipica) y un proposito unificador (aportar al mercado de las flores tropicales y estrategias de descontaminacion de metales pesados).
Ernst-Michael Kranich zeigt in feinsinnigen Blumenbetrachtungen und im Nachspüren seelischer Stimmungen, dass Farben, Formen, Wuchs und Blütenbildungen einzelner Pflanzen mit bestimmten menschlichen Gefühlen korrespondieren.
