It describes the recent advances in our understanding of how interacting populations of plants and animals change over time and space, in response to natural or human-created disturbance. In an integrated way, initial chapters give an account of the basic principles governing the structure, function, and temporal and spatial dynamics of populations and communities of plants and animals. Later chapters outline applications of these ideas to practical issues including fisheries, infectious diseases, tomorrow's food supplies, climate change, and conservation biology.Oxford scholarship online.EcologyElectronic books.Ecology.577May Robert M(Robert McCredie),1936-59857McLean Angela R960749MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451630903321Theoretical ecology2177989UNINA
