The first six chapters focus on organisms from the very small (e.g., protozoa, zooplankton, and fairy shrimp) to the huge (e.g., hippos, freshwater sharks, and giant turtles), while the last four chapters provide information on aquatic ecosystems (lakes, streams, caves, and wetlands). Included in this last section are the physical nature of the system and how that influences the kinds of animals living there. This unique “nature” book, incorporating information from around the world on both aquatic systems and organisms, is written to attract the interest of a wide group of non-academic readers. 0aFreshwater ecology.964630 0aMarine ecology.971464 0aBioclimatology.968090 0aClimatology.962309 0aInvertebrates.972152 0aEnvironment.96589314aFreshwater and Marine Ecology.97146524aClimate Change Ecology.96809224aClimate Sciences.96775524aInvertebrate Zoology.97215324aEnvironmental Sciences.9611552 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303164028508iPrinted edition:z978303164030808iPrinted edition:z978303164031540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-64029-2  aZDB-2-SBL  aZDB-2-SXB  c63179d63179
