Coverage ranges across scales-from the physiological, to populations, landscapes, and ecosystems. Entries provide an introduction to broad fields such as Applied Ecology, Behavioral Ecology, Computational Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology, Epidemiology and Epidemic Modeling, Population Ecology, Spatial Ecology and Statistics in Ecology. Others provide greater specificity and depth, including discussions on the Allee effect, ordinary differential equations, and ecosystem services. Descriptions of modern statistical and modeling approaches and how they contributed to advances in theoretical ecology are also included. Succinct, uncompromising, and authoritative-a "must have" for those interested in the use of theory in the ecological sciences. 410 0$aEncyclopedias of the natural world ;$vno. 4. 606 $aEcology$vEncyclopedias 610 $aallee effect. 610 $aanimal biology. 610 $aanimals and ecosystems. 610 $aapplied ecology. 610 $abehavioral ecology. 610 $abiodiversity. 610 $abiology major books. 610 $abiology reference. 610 $aclimate change. 610 $acomputational ecology. 610 $aecological sciences. 610 $aecology reference. 610 $aecology textbook. 610 $aecosystem ecology. 610 $aenvironmental conservation. 610 $aenvironmental protection. 610 $aepidemic modeling. 610 $aepidemiology. 610 $agoing green. 610 $amarine biology. 610 $apopulation ecology. 610 $ascience and ecosystems. 610 $ascience textbook. 610 $ascientific reference. 610 $ascientists. 610 $aspatial ecology. 610 $astatistics and ecology. 615 0$aEcology 676 $a577.03 686 $aWI 1500$2rvk 701 $aHastings$b A$g(Alan),$f1953-$0302141 701 $aGross$b Louis J$042721 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809656603321 996 $aEncyclopedia of theoretical ecology$94117563 997 $aUNINA
