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. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aEcology 615 0$aEcology. 676 $a577 701 $aMay$b Robert M$g(Robert McCredie),$f1936-$059857 701 $aMcLean$b Angela R$01616292 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818384403321 996 $aTheoretical ecology$93946917 997 $aUNINA
