The biology of temporary waters [WorldCat Entities]

""This book collates and synthesises the highly scattered and diverse global literature on pure and applied aspects of habitats and their biota. It examines the ecology of temporary waters in both natural and human environments, and seeks to identify common evolutionary themes. It will be of particular interest to aquatic ecologists, invertebrate and vertebrate biologists, environmental biologists, wetland and managers and conservationists, those charged with controlling water-associated diseases, entomologists, educators, and natural historians."--Résumé de l'éditeur."
"Temporary waters are found throughout the world, and include intermittent streams and ponds, episodic rain puddles, seasonal limestone lakes, the water-retaining structures of plants, such as bromeliads and pitcher plants, and a variety of man-made contai."@en
"Temporary waters are found throughout the world, and include intermittent streams and ponds, episodic rain puddles, seasonal limestone lakes, the water-retaining structures of plants, such as bromeliads and pitcher plants, and a variety of man-made container habitats. They are probably populated by various plant, animal, and microscopic communities ranging from the very simple to the highly complex. Temporary waters therefore represent fascinating and significant arenas in which tostudy the properties of species, as the latter deal with the rigours of living in highly variable environments.
