Destruction of tropical rain forests has increased exponentially in
recent years, as have efforts to conserve them. However,
information essential to these conservation programs--an
understanding of the population dynamics of the community at
risk--is often unavailable to the scientists and resource managers
who need it most.
This volume helps fill the gap by presenting a comprehensive
description and analysis of the animal community of the tropical
rain forest at El Verde, Puerto Rico. Building on more than a
decade of field research, the contributors weave the complex
strands of information about the energy flow within the forest--who
eats whom--into a powerful tool for understanding community
dynamics known as a food web. This systematic approach to
organizing the natural histories of the many species at El Verde
also reveals basic patterns and processes common to all rain
forests, making this book a valuable contribution for anyone
concerned with studying and protecting these fragile ecosystems.
