Biogeography and Biodiversity of Western Atlantic Mollusks

Biogeography and Biodiversity of Western Atlantic Mollusks

Shallow water marine molluscan faunas are distributed in a pattern of distinct geographically definable areas. This makes mollusks ideal for studying the distribution of organisms in the marine environment and the processes and patterns that control their evolution. Biogeography and Biodiversity of Western Atlantic Mollusks is the first book to use quantitative methodologies to define marine molluscan biogeographical patterns. It traces the historical development of these patterns for the subtropical and tropical western Atlantic. The book discusses the multistage process of evolving new taxa caused by eustatic fluctuations ecological stress and evolutionary selection. Drawing on his decades of intensive field work the author defines three western Atlantic molluscan provinces and 15 subprovinces based on his Provincial Combined Index a modern refinement of Valentine’s 50% rule. The faunal provinces—Carolinian Caribbean and Brazilian—are discussed in detail. The text defines the physical aspects of the provinces using quantitative data with water temperature as the primary parameter. It discusses the details of the 15 subprovinces—geographically definable faunal subdivisions—as well as provinciatones transition zones of provincial overlap. The author’s algorithms demonstrate that the bulk of the molluscan biodiversity is concentrated in 40 separate centers of speciation ranging from Cape Hatteras North Carolina south to Argentina. Many of these evolutionary hotspots reside on remote archipelagos and offshore banks as well as within areas of provincial overlap. The text describes some of the more exotic and poorly known areas and presents maps and color photographs of characteristic habitats index species and live animals including over 400 species of rare and seldom seen shells.

Bread and Its FortificationNutrition and Health Benefits

Bread and Its FortificationNutrition and Health Benefits

Today bread supplies over half of the caloric intake of the world’s population including a high proportion of the intake of Vitamins B and E. Bread therefore is a major food of the world. Bread was the main stables of the ancient Egyptian diet. Around 7 000 BC humans (probably Egyptians) somehow learned to grind grains in water and heat the mix on hot stoves to make unleavened bread. The art of bread making goes back to very early stages of different historical eras. Bread is an important part of the human diet but for many people it is much more than just providing macro- and micro-nutrients. Bread with their different types is influenced mainly by the nature of substrate and microorganisms involved in the fermentation. The components of bread depend on the type of bread and on practice and regulations operating in a country. They include basic components and other components (fortifying or enriching ingredients emulsifiers anti-fungal agents anti-oxidants enzymes and favoring agents etc.). Bread and its Fortification for Nutrition and Health Benefits provides updated information in the area of bread and its fortification for health benefits. It serves as a useful reference book with recent advances in the areas of fermentation technology bread microbiology bread biotechnology and bread biochemistry which is related strongly to human health.

Health Benefits of Nuts and Dried Fruits

Health Benefits of Nuts and Dried Fruits

Nuts and dried fruits are part of our daily diet. They are consumed whole or as ingredients of many food products such as muffins cereals chocolates energy bars breads and cookies among others. Health Benefits of Nuts and Dried Fruits provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on the health benefits of nuts and dried fruits. The book summarizes the current state of knowledge in key research areas and provides ideas for future scientific research and product development. Nuts a term that comprises tree nuts and peanuts are highly nutritious containing health-promoting macronutrients micronutrients vitamins and bioactive phytochemicals; they are one of the edible foods with the highest content in antioxidants. The consumption of nuts is recognized for its health-promoting properties which ranges from a consistent cholesterol-lowering effect in clinical trials to a robust association with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in prospective studies. In spite of the high energy content of nuts there is no evidence that their frequent consumption promotes obesity and they may even help control it. Dried fruits which serve as important healthful snacks worldwide are nutritionally equivalent to fresh fruits while providing all of their bioactive components in concentrated form. While the evidence level concerning the health effects of dried fruits lags behind that on nuts it suggests that individuals who consume dried fruits regularly have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease obesity and other non-communicable diseases. Main features of the book concerning nuts and dried fruits: • Provides detailed information on health effects • Highlights current regulation and health claims • Provides updated dietary recommendations • Describes nutrient absorption and metabolism • Discusses mechanisms implicated in the health effects Although this book is intended primarily as a reference by comprehensively reviewing the current state of knowledge it can guide future research on the topic. Among others food scientists biochemists nutritionists health professionals decision makers and regulatory agencies can draw much benefit from its contents. Hopefully it will help in public health strategies to promote healthy aging and improve population wellbeing.
