Biodiversity and Conservation
- Peter J. Bryant, Professor of Developmental and Cell Biology at the University of California, Irvine, provides this hypertext book as a
learning aid for his Biological Conservation class. It is a comprehensive introduction to the topic. Divided into sixteen
chapters, it covers such topics as the history of life, depletion and extinction from over-exploitation, exotic introductions,
and deforestation, among others. The content is supported by illustrations, photos, charts, and a web-bibliography for each chapter (a work
in progress which is also available in full at the end of the book). However, the features that add the greatest value to the site are the well
thought out hyperlinks to other relevant resources. There are literally hundreds of these; they combine with the original content of the
site to form a powerful resource for undergraduate students

on biodiversity and environment issues. ARBEC seeks to publish critical
reviews designed to advance the knowledge on biodiversity and environmental
conservation at all levels, from research methods, theory, applications and
practice of environmental conservation and education. Review articles can
take a variety of forms including the critical reviews of original or published
research results, identification of emerging trends in specific areas of
