Bøger i Population and Community Biology Series serien

To say you are writing about rarity is to invite two kinds of response. The objective of this book is to explore the nature of rarity, its complexity if you like, from one particular perspective on what rarity is.

Provides a treatment of the construction and analysis of models for age- and stage-classified populations. This book covers methods based on projection matrices, delay-differential equations, and partial-differential equations.

Ecology of Shallow Lakes brings together current understanding of the mechanisms that drive the diametrically opposite states of water clarity, shown by the cover paintings, found in many shallow lakes and ponds.

A book blending evolution and trophic dynamics, taking into account recent advances in both behavioral and population ecology, is long overdue.

As one of the most quantitative of ecological subdisciplines, resource competition is an important, central area of ecology.

Military victories over the Philistines and Syrians, receipts of tribute, and the collection of tolls from the control of trade routes together with the general revival of trade all contributed to Israel's growing wealth.

This book presents a comprehensive typology and a comprehensible description of spatiotemporal models used in population dynamics. The main types included are: reaction-diffusion systems, patch models, matapopulation approaches, host parasitoid models, cellular automata (interacting particle systems), tessellations and distance models.

To make the indicators point up, whole regions are sacrificed, new technologies are put in place, and new locational patterns are created as the world is carved up into a new international division oflabor.
