Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a multifaceted analysis of the animal and plant life found on the Cold Spring sand spit. The author provides a thorough breakdown of the various species found in the cold spring area, describing the different roles each species plays in the surrounding ecosystem. The author categorizes species as sessile, crawling, burrowing, swimming, and terrestrial. Specific examples of these classifications are provided along with speculation on how they came to be so well adapted to their environment, including the process of selection and the theory of segregation in the fittest environment. The text goes on to describe the changes that occur as you traverse the spit from water to land, with species changing depending on their ability to adapt to the changing tides and climate. The book concludes by suggesting that the unique composition of species in this area is likely to be mirrored in other similar environments, providing evidence that a process of natural selection is the cause of the diversity of life across similar environments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
