Insect Ecology is the world's foremost reference to the never-ending and crucial interactions of the richest taxon of organisms on this earth, with perhaps some 8 million extant species. Now in its Third Edition and twentieth year of publication, Insect Ecology has endured as an unparalleled classic. Taking the reader from an explanation of the ...
In Macroevolutionary Theory on Macroecological Patterns, Peter Price establishes a completely new vision of the central themes in ecology. For the first time in book form, the study of distribution, abundance, and population size variation in animals is cast in an evolutionary framework. The book argues that evolved characters of organisms such as ...
This text introduces the complex and fascinating subject of biological evolution in an engaging manner. The book begins with a thorough discussion of Darwin's theory of evolution and his ideas for how new species develop over time. He follows this with a comprehensive review of the alternative theories of mechanisms that result in new species. ...
An understanding of the dynamics of populations is critically important to ecologists, evolutionary biologists, wildlife managers, foresters, and many other biologists. This edited treatise brings together the latest research on how populations fluctuate in size, the factors that drive these changes, and the theories explaining how populations are ...
This book addresses recent developments in the ecology, evolution, systematics, physiology, and biodiversity of gall-inducing arthropods, with individual contributions ranging in scope from detailed descriptions to profoundly synthetic studies. One underlying theme is the various impacts of gall induction that indirectly affect insect communities ...
Presents a selection of recent findings on plant-animal interactions in tropical and temperate settings. Topics covered include tropical and temperate comparisons, mutualistic and antagonistic relationships between plants and animals, and plant-butterfly interactions.
This book gives a complete description of all the basic types of integrated circuit cards now available and those in the process of being developed.
