The Great Barrier Reef (Revised Edition)
The real Great Barrier Reef is not just a single clown fish or a colony of branching stag horn coral. It is not simply the crystal clear water, cocktails and beautiful bodies of the tourist ads. Nor is it just the stage for murders, mishaps, shipwrecks, shark attacks, crocodile death rolls or gropers that swallow men's heads whole and only sometimes spit them back out. The real Great Barrier Reef is a living thing - a 2300-kilometre-long, untamed organism, made up of trillions of animals. It is the magnificent and terrifying home to the wild things of nightmares and hallucinations. James Woodford wanted to understand the real reef in all its complexity and along its entire, extraordinary len...

Science under siege
On Saturday 29 November 2008, the Royal Zoological Society of NSW held a forum with the theme of Science under siege. As the RZS is a zoological society, zoology under threat became the secondary theme and the basis for selecting speakers. This book records that forum with the papers developed for this book as the written word from the spoken presentations. Papers that were presented as posters are included, as are the edited plenary sessions which featured questions from the floor, with answers and comments encouraged from anyone in the forum. We were delighted that Mark Horstman, from ABC Catalyst, was willing to replace his peripatetic colleague Paul Willis, who was nonetheless very happy...
Amazing Animals of Australia's National Parks
With its enticing and colourful design and its fascinating information, this is a book that children will want to pour over-either at home, in the classroom or on a road trip. This book brings together 55 national parks, selected across all Australian states and territories, and over 120 animals. It is divided into seven sections according to habitat (woodlands and grasslands; forests; rainforests; arid zones; mountains; wetlands and waterways; coasts, oceans and islands), each including a number of national parks and a selection of the fish, reptiles, frogs, birds and mammals that inhabit them. At the end of the book is a section on 'little critters'-beetles, spiders, butterflies, grasshopp...
Ocean Echoes
""Ocean Echoes"" dives into the fascinating realm of marine acoustics, revealing how sound shapes life beneath the waves and influences global environmental patterns. This comprehensive exploration covers three main areas: marine animal communication, the impact of human-made noise on ocean ecosystems, and the application of acoustic technology in marine research. The book argues that sound is a fundamental, yet often overlooked, component of marine ecosystems, crucial for conservation efforts and mitigating climate change impacts. Readers will discover intriguing facts about underwater sound propagation, such as how it travels differently in water compared to air, often covering vast distan...
Pollution and Fish Health in Tropical Ecosystems

Early Life History of Fishes in the San Francisco Estuary and Watershed
The editors (a group of federal government and state of California researchers) present 19 peer-reviewed papers from the August 2003 symposium on the ecology of estuary and watershed fishes of San Francisco, most of which were written under the auspices of the Interagency Ecological Program, a government and academic collaborative program for long-term monitoring and research on the San Francisco Estuary. Broadly speaking, the papers cover the distribution, organization and interactions of native and alien species; basic life traits for key species; potential effects of contaminants; and issues of modeling, methodology, and management.
