This book presents new theoretical perspectives on ecological
community dynamics and in so doing casts fresh light on the
enduring complexity-stability debate. Real ecological communities
do not simply comprise diverse species and interactions, which
respectively represented the nodes and links of the classic network
theory. Rather, they are characterized by different types of
complexity, and this book explains how this diversity of complexity
is key to understanding the dynamics of ecological communities. It
is shown how various properties in natural communities, such as
life history, adaptation, density dependence, sex, interaction
types, space, functional traits, and microbial processes, can
dramatically increase the complexity in ecological communities.
Furthermore, innovative methods are introduced that may be applied
to cast light on very complex communities. With each chapter
presenting the latest advances and approaches, the book sets the
direction for future research on ecological community dynamics. It
will be a "must read" for researchers and students in the field of
ecology.
