  • Ecological Orbits

    How Planets Move and Populations Grow

    by Lev Ginzburg, Mark Colyvan ...
    A famous ecologist and a philosopher of science team up to offer a fresh new approach to population biology and ecology. Challenging the traditionally accepted Lotka-Volterra model, which is based on predator-prey interactions, this new model emphasizes maternal effects, specifically the significance of a mother's interest in the success of her female offspring. ...

  • Nonadaptive Selection

    An Evolutionary Source of Ecological Laws

    by John Damuth, Lev R. Ginzburg ...
    The first comprehensive explanation of a widely applicable but underappreciated mechanism of evolution operating at higher levels of organization than the individual.In this important treatise, ecologists and evolutionary biologists John Damuth and Lev R. Ginzburg identify a specific evolutionary process in biology, which they call nonadaptive selection. The idea is simple, but the implications ... Read more

  • Theory-Based Ecology

    A Darwinian approach

    by Gabriella Magyar, Liz Pásztor, Zoltán Botta-Dukát, Tamás Czárán, Géza Meszéna ...
    Ecology is in a challenging state as a scientific discipline. While some theoretical ecologists are attempting to build a definition of ecology from first principles, many others are questioning even the feasibility of a general and universal theory. At the same time, it is increasingly important that ecology is accurately and functionally defined for a generation of researchers tackling ... Read more

  • Metacommunity Ecology

    by Mathew A. Leibold, Jonathan M. Chase ...
    Series Book 59 - Monographs in Population Biology
    Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions, selection, and stochasticity—with larger-scale issues such as dispersal and habitat heterogeneity. Until now, the field has focused on evaluating the relative importance of distinct processes, with niche-based environmental ... Read more

  • Phylogenetic Ecology

    A History, Critique, & Remodeling

    by Nathan G. Swenson ...
    Over the past decade, ecologists have increasingly embraced phylogenetics, the study of evolutionary relationships among species. As a result, they have come to discover the field's power to illuminate present ecological patterns and processes. Ecologists are now investigating whether phylogenetic diversity is a better measure of ecosystem health than more traditional metrics like species ... Read more

  • Modelling Complex Ecological Dynamics

    An Introduction into Ecological Modelling for Students, Teachers & Scientists

    by Melanie Trexler ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Model development is of vital importance for understanding and management of ecological processes. Identifying the complex relationships between ecological patterns and processes is a crucial task. Ecological modelling—both qualitatively and quantitatively—plays a vital role in analysing ecological phenomena and for ecological theory. This textbook provides a unique overview of modelling ...

  • Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning

    Frameworks, methodologies, and integration

    Edited by Martin Solan, Rebecca J. Aspden, David M. Paterson ...
    The biological composition and richness of most of the Earth's major ecosystems are being dramatically and irreversibly transformed by anthropogenic activity. Yet, despite the vast areal extent of our oceans, the mainstay of research to-date in the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning arena has been weighted towards ecological observations and experimentation in terrestrial plant and soil systems. ...

  • Mutualistic Networks

    by Jordi Bascompte, Pedro Jordano ...
    Series Book 53 - Monographs in Population Biology
    Mutualistic interactions among plants and animals have played a paramount role in shaping biodiversity. Yet the majority of studies on mutualistic interactions have involved only a few species, as opposed to broader mutual connections between communities of organisms. Mutualistic Networks is the first book to comprehensively explore this burgeoning field. Integrating different approaches, from the ... Read more

    Series Book 49 - Monographs in Population Biology
    This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography, linking individual- and population-level processes to geographic distributions and biodiversity patterns. Problems in evolutionary ecology, macroecology, and biogeography are illuminated by this integrative view. The book focuses on correlative approaches known as ecological niche modeling, species ...
