Sommario/riassunto: | This book, featuring contributions by the leading workers in the field, provides a current synthetic overview of evolutionary ecology, for researchers and serious students in both ecology and evolutionary biology. The book will also serve as supplemental reading or as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate seminars and courses in evolutionary ecology. The book is divided into five major sections: an overview of the major topics in evolutionary biology for ecologists, and sections on life histories, behavior, coevolution, and adaption to anthropogenic change. |
