Beschreibung

Pollination Extremes in Insects explores how insects pollinate plants in extreme environments, revealing the unique adaptations that enable them to thrive. It highlights the ecological and evolutionary pressures shaping these insect-plant interactions, providing insights into the resilience of ecosystems and the importance of biodiversity. The book showcases how challenging conditions drive the evolution of specialized pollination strategies. For instance, some hawk moths have evolved exceptionally long proboscises to reach nectar in deep flowers, while bees have developed specialized pollen baskets for efficient pollen transport. The book examines the morphological adaptations, physiological mechanisms, and co-evolutionary dynamics between insects and plants. Understanding these extremes is vital in the face of climate change and habitat loss. Case studies, comparative analyses, and experimental data illustrate these points. The initial chapters introduce insect pollination principles, progressing to specific extreme environments like deserts and high altitudes. Each section explores the challenges and innovative solutions insects have developed, emphasizing conservation implications for threatened pollinators and their host plants.

Thin Places - A Natural History...

Kerri ní Dochartaigh

Kerri ní Dochartaigh was born in Derry, on the border of the North and South of Ireland, at the very height of the Troubles. She was brought up on a council estate on the wrong side of town—although for her family, and many others, there was no right side. One parent was Catholic, the other was Protestant. In the space of one year, they were forced out of two homes. When she was eleven, a homemade bomb was thrown through her bedroom window. Terror was in the very fabric of the city, and for families like ní Dochartaigh's, the ones who fell between the cracks of identity, it seemed there was no escape. 
 
 
 
In Thin Places, a luminous blend of memoir, history, and nature writing, ní Dochartaigh explores how nature kept her sane and helped her heal, how violence and poverty are never more than a stone's throw from beauty and hope, and how we are, once again, allowing our borders to become hard and terror to creep back in. Ní Dochartaigh asks us to reclaim our landscape through language and study, and remember that the land we fight over is much more than lines on a map. It will always be ours, but—at the same time—it never really was.
