  • Predictive Species and Habitat Modeling in Landscape Ecology

    Concepts and Applications

    Edited by C. Ashton Drew, Falk Huettmann, Yolanda F. Wiersma ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Most projects in Landscape Ecology, at some point, define a species-habitat association. These models are inherently spatial, dealing with landscapes and their configurations. Whether coding behavioral rules for dispersal of simulated organisms through simulated landscapes, or designing the sampling extent of field surveys and experiments in real landscapes, landscape ecologists must make ...

  • Too Smart for our Own Good

    The Ecological Predicament of Humankind

    by Craig Dilworth ...
    We are destroying our natural environment at a constantly increasing pace, and in so doing undermining the preconditions of our own existence. Why is this so? This book reveals that our ecologically disruptive behaviour is in fact rooted in our very nature as a species. Drawing on evolution theory, biology, anthropology, archaeology, economics, environmental science and history, this book explains ... Read more

  • The Botany of Mangroves

    by P. Barry Tomlinson ...
    Mangroves are distinctive tropical plant communities that occupy the intertidal zone between sea and land. They are of major ecological importance, have economic value as a source of food and raw materials, and serve as a buffer from flooding and climate change-induced sea level rise. Mangroves are under threat from pollution, clearance and over-exploitation, and increasing concern has driven ... Read more

  • Theory-Based Ecology

    A Darwinian approach

    by Gabriella Magyar, Liz Pásztor, Zoltán Botta-Dukát, Tamás Czárán, Géza Meszéna ...
    Ecology is in a challenging state as a scientific discipline. While some theoretical ecologists are attempting to build a definition of ecology from first principles, many others are questioning even the feasibility of a general and universal theory. At the same time, it is increasingly important that ecology is accurately and functionally defined for a generation of researchers tackling ... Read more

  • Distribution Ecology

    From Individual Habitat Use to Species Biogeographical Range

    by Marcelo Hernán Cassini ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book brings together a set of approaches to the study of individual-species ecology based on the analysis of spatial variations of abundance. Distribution ecology assumes that ecological phenomena can be understood when analyzing the extrinsic (environmental) or intrinsic (physiological constraints, population mechanisms) that correlate with this spatial variation. Ecological processes depend ... Read more
