  • Evolutionary Paleoecology

    The Ecological Context of Macroevolutionary Change

    Edited by Warren Allmon, David Bottjer ...
    One of the most important questions we can ask about life is "Does ecology matter?" Most biologists and paleontologists are trained to answer "yes," but the exact mechanisms by which ecology matters in the context of patterns that play out over millions of years have never been entirely clear. This book examines these mechanisms and looks at how ancient environments affected evolution, focusing on ... Read more

  • The Redwood Forest

    History, Ecology, and Conservation of the Coast Redwoods

    by Save-the-Redwoods League ...
    Evidence is mounting that redwood forests, like many other ecosystems, cannot survive as small, isolated fragments in human-altered landscapes. Such fragments lose their diversity over time and, in the case of redwoods, may even lose the ability to grow new, giant trees.The Redwood Forest, written in support of Save-the-Redwood League's master plan, provides scientific guidance for saving the ...

  • Trophic Cascades

    Predators, Prey, and the Changing Dynamics of Nature

    Edited by John Terborgh, James A. Estes, Dr. ...

  • The Ecology of Place

    Contributions of Place-Based Research to Ecological Understanding

    Edited by Ian Billick, Mary V. Price ...
    Ecologists can spend a lifetime researching a small patch of the earth, studying the interactions between organisms and the environment, and exploring the roles those interactions play in determining distribution, abundance, and evolutionary change. With so few ecologists and so many systems to study, generalizations are essential. But how do you extrapolate knowledge about a well-studied area and ... Read more
