All organisms are linked to their surroundings. The survival of an organism thus depends upon its surroundings. These surroundings of an organism constitute its (are called as - delete) environment. Any change in the surroundings/environment affects the growth and survival of living organisms to a significant extent. Nutrients and energy get distributed among various living components present in a particular environment. Ecology is the study of the relationship of organisms i.e. plants, animals, microorganisms with their surroundings (environment). Ecological studies deal with the relationships of organisms with their environment. The present unit provides information about basic concepts in ecology. Expected Learning Outcomes After the study of this Unit, you should be able to define various terms used in ecology (environment, population, community, ecosystem and ecosphere), 7 Block 1 Ecology and Ecological Factors describe subdivisions of ecology, outline differences between natural and man-made environment, describe components of the ecosystem, enlist characteristics of the community, enumerate knowledge about recent developments in the field of ecology, and discuss the interrelationships between ecology and other disciplines of biology. 1.2 WHAT IS ECOLOGY?

  • Rare and Curious Specimens, an Illustrated
    Krefft's successor, Edward Pierson Ramsay (1842-1916), was the first Australian to head the Museum. Son of a prosperous medical practitioner whose assets included the Dobroyd Estate, he grew up in Sydney and, at the age of twenty-one, entered the University of Sydney, itself only twelve years old, with a single faculty and but three professors. He departed two years later without having taken a degree and, at the age of twenty-five established a successful plant and seed nursery on a portion of the Dobroyd Estate inherited from his father. Seven years later, in 1874, he was appointed curator of the Australian Museum. While it is conceivable that such a background might have fitted a native son for a junior position in the Herbarium, it would seem hardly to have provided ade­ quate preparation for the senior position in an institution devoted to zoology, geology and anthropology and with some international standing for researches in these fields. One must look further for justification of the trustees' faith. As a youth, his keen interest in natural history was cultivated in discussions with Pittard, Sir William Denison, and a German schoolteacher-naturalist, Reitmann. At twenty he became treasurer of the Entomological Society of New South Wales and three years later was elected a Life Fellow of the newly reconstituted Royal Society of New South Wales-an honour which may have more reflected the magnitude of his subscription than his scientific reputation which, at that stage, rested on eight short and rather pedestrian papers on Australian birds. This output might not have justified fellowship of a scientific society but it was a creditable achievement for an undergraduate.

  • Page 1 Sydney Harbour: Its Diverse Biodiversity Pat A. Hutchings
    Sydney Harbour: its diverse biodiversity Pat A. Hutchings, Shane T. Ahyong, Michael B. Ashcroft, Mark A. McGrouther and Amanda L. Reid The Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010 All records of crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, echinoderms and fishes from Sydney Harbour were extracted from the Australian Museum database, and plotted onto a map of Sydney Harbour that was divided into four regions. Records were analysed according to the number of species, genera and families present and over 3000 species were recorded, approximately double to triple the number of species found in the neighbouring Hawkesbury River, Botany Bay and Port Hacking. We examined the rate of accumulation of records and species over time since the 1860s, which followed a stepwise pattern usually correlated with the research activity of specific curators at the Australian Museum. The high species richness of Sydney Harbour is probably the result of multiple factors including significant tidal flushing and the high diversity of habitats present. Not all parts of the harbour have been well sampled, however, and we highlight areas and habitats that should be prioritised for further biodiversity surveys. An Appendix is provided listing all species in the five groups of animals considered here. The present study highlights the remarkable richness of the Sydney Harbour fauna and provides a consolidated background to guide future management and research, and emphasises the values of museum collections. ABSTRACT Key words: Sydney Harbour, diversity, crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, echinoderms, fishes http://dx.doi.org/10.7882/AZ.2012.031 Introduction Sydney Harbour is a drowned river valley that formed area of about 50 km2 and a total catchment of 500 km2 during a rise in sea level approximately 10,000 years (Birch and McCready 2009).

  • The Emergence of Ecology from Natural History Keith R
    The emergence of ecology from natural history Keith R. Benson The modern discipline of biology was formed in the 20th century from roots deep in the natural-history tradition, which dates from Aristotle. Not surprisingly, therefore, ecology can also be traced to natural history, especially its 19th-century tradition emphasizing the adaptive nature of organisms to their environment. During the 20th century, ecology has developed and matured from pioneering work on successional stages to mathematically rich work on ecosystem energetics. By the end of the century, ecology has made a return to its natural-history heritage, emphasizing the importance of the integrity of ecosystems in considering human interactions with the environment. Today, the field of biology includes a vast array of diver- like molecular biology, ecology emerged as a distinct gent and unique subdisciplines, ranging from molecular area in biology only at the turn of the century but very biology to comparative endocrinology. With very few quickly developed its own conventions of biological exceptions, most of these specialty areas were created by discourse. Unlike molecular biology and several other biologists during the 20th century, giving modern biology biological subsciplines, ecology’s roots are buried deep its distinctive and exciting character1. However, before within natural history, the descriptive and often romantic 1900, the field was much different because even the term tradition of studying the productions of nature. biology was seldom used2. Indeed, most of those who studied the plants and animals scattered over the earth’s Perspectives on the natural world before the surface referred to themselves as naturalists: students of 20th century natural history3.

  • Plants and Politics at the Bogor Botanical Gardens
    Vol. 11, no. 3 (2018) 169–177 | ISSN: 1876-9055 | e-ISSN: 2212-7283 Laborious Transformations: Plants and Politics at the Bogor Botanical Gardens ANDREAS WEBER* & ROBERT-JAN WILLE** ABSTRACT Contributors to this theme issue examine the history of the life sciences at the Botanical Gardens in Bogor (Kebun Raya Bogor) in Indonesia. Each of the essays in this theme issue focusses on a major transformation that the garden, its networks, and staff underwent in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Before summarizing individual contributions, this introductory essay familiarizes readers with more recent scholarship in the field. Taken together, the essays in our theme issue suggest that the practice of the life sciences at the Gardens can be best analyzed as the outcome of historical processes of coordination and competition in which different disciplines, communities, and networks not only in insular Southeast Asia but also other parts of the world played a formative role. Keywords: history of life sciences, Kebun Bogor Raya, Buitenzorg, Indonesia, colonialism, botanical garden The Bogor Botanical Gardens1 in Indonesia, which was called ‘s Lands Plantentuin in what was then Buitenzorg in the Dutch Indies, has undergone several crucial transformations since its foundation in 1817. Even if one focusses only on the colonial period and lea- ves aside the period after the Indonesian Revolution, the Gardens’ history enhances our understanding of the complex relationship between evolving colonial science practices and varying forms of imperial politics. The historical relationship between the botanical garden’s political organization and practices to study plants can be best described as co- evolutionary. Earlier versions of the papers in this theme issue have been presented at an * University of Twente, Department of Science, Technology, and Policy Studies (BMS-STePS), PO Box 217, 7500 AE, The Netherlands.

  • Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
    Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there.

  • Finnish Botanists and Mycologists in the Arctic1
    525 ARTICLE Finnish botanists and mycologists in the Arctic1 Henry Väre Abstract: Finnish botanists and mycologists have studied Arctic areas and timberline regions since the beginning of the 18th century. Most expeditions to the Kola Peninsula were made between 1800 and 1917 and until 1945 to Lapponia petsamoënsis on the western rim of the Kola Peninsula. Since those years, these areas have been part of the Soviet Union or Russia. Svalbard and Newfoundland and Labrador have been studied repeatedly as well, Svalbard since the 1860s and Newfoundland and Labrador since the 1930s. This article focus- es on Finnish collections. These are deposited in the herbaria of Helsinki, Turku, and Oulu universities, except materials from the Nordenskiöld expeditions, which were mainly deposited in Stockholm. Concerning the Kola Peninsula, collections at Helsinki are the most extensive. The exact number of specimens is not known, but by rough estimation, the number is about 60 000, with an additional 110 000 observations included in the data- base. These expeditions have provided material to describe 305 new taxa to science, viz. 47 algae, 78 bryophytes, 25 fungi, 136 lichens, and 19 vascular plants. This number is an underestimate, as many new species have been described in several separate taxonomic arti- cles. At least 63 persons have contributed to making these collections to Finnish herbaria. Of those, 52 are of Finnish nationality. Key words: bryophytes, fungi, vascularplants, Finnish, Arctic. Résumé : Les botanistes et les mycologues finlandais ont étudié les régions arctiques et les régions de limite forestière depuis le début du 18ème siècle. La plupart des expéditions à la presqu’île de Kola ont été faites entre 1800 et 1917 et jusqu'à 1945 à Lapponia petsamoënsis For personal use only.

We reassessed the type specimens of the two Lithophyllum species historically reported from offshore communities in North Carolina, L. intermedium with a Caribbean Sea type locality and L. subtenellum with an Atlantic southern France type locality, using scanning electron microscopy images and diagnostic rbcL sequences. Neither of the sequences generated from the type specimens matched rbcL sequences from contemporary specimens collected from subtidal North Carolina epibenthic communities. On the basis of analyses of rbcL and other loci (psbA, UPA, and COI), we instead found L. atlanticum, recently described from Brazil, and L. searlesii sp. nov. from Onslow Bay, North Carolina. These sequence data show that L. atlanticum is related to northeast Pacific species, whereas L. searlesii is related to Mediterranean species.
