Tropical Radioecology is a guide to the wide range of scientific practices and principles of this multidisciplinary field. It brings together past and present studies in the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the planet, highlighting the unique aspects of tropical systems. Until recently, radioecological models for tropical environments have depended upon data derived from temperate environments, despite the differences of these regions in terms of biota and abiotic conditions. Since radioactivity can be used to trace environmental processes in humans and other biota, this book offer

Les frontières pionnières sont un thème central dans les recherches du célèbre géographe français Pierre Monbeig. À l’occasion du colloque Les Phénomènes de « frontière » dans les pays tropicaux, tenu du 12 au 15 décembre 1979, plus de quarante intervenants ou auteurs de communication – dont notamment Claude Bataillon – ont rendu hommage à ce spécialiste de l’Amérique du Sud. Cette rencontre est le résultat de recherches menées au cours des années 1970, dont résultent les sujets comme le développement des frontières pionnières, ou encore les politiques d’État liées aux opérations industrielles. L’un des problèmes majeurs soulevé ici est la destruction de l’environnement, due à la constante expansion de l’agriculture qui menace les écosystèmes d’Amérique latine. Les évolutions technologiques sont ici vues comme mettant en péril le monde du travail, qui a alors moins besoin de main-d’œuvre qu’auparavant pour une plus grande production. Les membres de ce colloque prouvent que le sujet des phénomènes de frontières est encore d’actualité, et démontrent que les fronts pionniers sont dans une recherche constante de ressources non utilisées, cherchant sans cesse à se développer au dépend de certains écosystèmes. Il n’est pas inutile de rappeler que l’Amazonie est l’une des dernières régions encore sauvage, mais elle disparaît peu à peu sous l’avancée inexorable des frontières pionnières.

"Behavioral Ecology of Tropical Birds, Second Edition provides the most updated and comprehensive review on the evolution of behavior in tropical landbirds. The book reviews gaps in our knowledge that were identified twenty years ago when the first edition was published, highlights recent discoveries that have filled those gaps, and identifies new areas in urgent need of study. It covers key topics, including timing of breeding, movement ecology, life history traits, slow vs. fast pace of life, mating systems, mate choice, territoriality, communication, biotic interactions, and conservation. Written by international experts on the behavior of tropical birds, the book explores why the tropics is a unique natural laboratory to study the evolution of bird behavior and why temperate zone species are so different. A recent surge of studies on tropical birds has helped to reduce the temperate zone bias that arose because most avian model species in behavioral ecology were adapted to northern temperate climates. This is an important resource for researchers, ecologists and conservationists who want to understand the rich and complex evolutionary history of avian behavior."--
