Many reasons explain this intense interest in charr  biology. Charrs have a Holarctic distribution encompassing many Asian,  North American, and European countries and occupy diverse marine and  freshwater environments. Furthermore, the current distribution of  charr includes areas that were directly influenced by climate and  topographic change associated with the many Pleistocene glaciations.  Undoubtedly, these conditions have promoted much of the tremendous  morphological, ecological, and genetic variability and plasticity  within \u003cem\u003eSalvelinus\u003c\/em\u003e species and they make charr very good models  to study evolutionary processes 'in action'. Many charr species also  exhibit demographic characteristics such as slow growth, late  maturity, and life in extreme environments, that may increase their  susceptibility to extinction from habitat changes and  overexploitation, especially in depauperate aquatic habitats. This  vulnerability makes understanding their biology of great relevance to  biodiversity and conservation. Finally, charr are of great cultural,  commercial, and recreational significance to many communities, and  their intimate linkage with human societies has stimulated much  interest in this enigmatic genus. This volume comprises a selection of  papers presented at the fourth International Charr Symposium held in  Trois-Rivières (Québec, Canada), from 26 June to 1 July  2000. It includes 31 papers on ecological interactions and behaviour,  trophic polymorphism, movement and migration, ecophysiology and  evolutionary genetics, ecological parasitology, environmental stress  and conservation. These studies cannot cover all recent developments  in the ecology, behaviour and conservation of \u003cem\u003eSalvelinus\u003c\/em\u003e  species, but collecting them into a special volume should bring  attention to current research on this important genus and stimulate  further work on\u003cem\u003eSalvelinus\u003c\/em\u003e species.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048160884\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1352-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254.0cm x178.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 360.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343531110540,"sku":"9789048160884","price":197.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048160884.jpg?v=1759288574","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048160884","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
