Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vast world of life hidden beneath the waves of the Kieler Bucht, an arm of the Baltic Sea, and one of the most thoroughly studied marine environments on the planet. The rich diversity of marine life forms within the Kieler Bucht had long been known, but it was not until scientific explorations were carried out between 1859-1865 that the full extent of its biodiversity was truly revealed. The book delves into the unique habitat of each species found throughout the many depths of the Kieler Bucht, from the shallow littoral zones to the deep and dark abyss. Drawing from the author's extensive first-hand observations, readers will gain a comprehensive insight into the lives of these creatures, their habits, and their significance within the ecosystem. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Presentation inscription on the front free endpaper of Vol. II: "Der Herrn Redacteuren des Journal de Conchyliologie, Herrn Crosse und Herrn Dr. Fischer hochachtungsfoll die Verfasser." First Edition. Möbius and Meyer's study of the environment and organisms of the Kieler Bucht (the Bay of Kiel in the southwestern Baltic Sea) is a pioneering work of ecology. "In the introduction to this work [Möbius] set forth a program and methodology for modern ecology. The topography and variations in depth, the plant and animal life of the Kieler Bucht were characterized. The concept of 'life community' ('Lebensgemeinschaft' or 'Biocönose') was introduced, although Möbius did not define it more precisely until 1877" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). Möbius is credited with coining the term "biocenose" to refer to an ecological community or ecosystem. "Several features make the general part of Die Fauna der Kieler Bucht unusual. Though faunas were a common type of natural historical writing in the period, most concentrated on listing the animal species in a particular region. Möbius and Meyer went much further, heading toward a tighter connection between a particular set of physical and chemical conditions and the life-forms they supported. In this regard, the identification of so many different faunistic zones in such a small geographic area was innovative. . . . [M]ost discussions of geographic distribution in this period considered large regions of the earth; more local discursive mappings seeking to define, for example, a peculiarly 'German' or 'European' fauna still normally covered a far broader range than the microlevels attributed to the Kiel Fjord" (Nyhart, Modern Nature: The Rise of the Biological Perspective in Germany [2009], p. 143). The second volume of this copy bears the authors' presentation inscription to M. Crosse, the editor of the Journal de Conchyliologie [Journal of Conchology]. The inscription had originally included the name of Dr. Fischer, presumably another editor of the Journal, but this was later crossed out. .
