The autecological approach focuses on the interactions of individual organisms (and their species-specific adaptations) with the spatio-temporal dynamics of their environment as a basis for interpreting patterns of diversity and abundance in natural systems. This organism-based approach to ecological interpretation provides a strong alternative to more traditional approaches and relates mechanistically to the underlying disciplines of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. The book includes illustrations, specific examples, graphs, maps, and other diagrams--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEcology$xPhilosophy 606 $aBiotic communities 615 0$aEcology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 676 $a577.01 686 $aNAT010000$aSCI027000$2bisacsh 700 $aWalter$b G.
