Reflecting the recent surge of activity in food web research fueled
by new empirical data, this authoritative volume successfully spans
and integrates the areas of theory, basic empirical research,
applications, and resource problems. Written by recognized leaders
from various branches of ecological research, this work provides an
in-depth treatment of the most recent advances in the field and
examines the complexity and variability of food webs through
reviews, new research, and syntheses of the major issues in food
web research. Food Webs features material on the role of nutrients,
detritus and microbes in food webs, indirect effects in food webs,
the interaction of productivity and consumption, linking cause and
effect in food webs, temporal and spatial scales of food web
dynamics, applications of food webs to pest management, fisheries,
and ecosystem stress. Three comprehensive chapters synthesize
important information on the role of indirect effects, productivity
and consumer regulation, and temporal, spatial and life history
influences on food webs. In addition, numerous tables, figures, and
mathematical equations found nowhere else in related literature are
presented in this outstanding work. Food Webs offers researchers
and graduate students in various branches of ecology an extensive
examination of the subject. Ecologists interested in food webs or
community ecology will also find this book an invaluable tool for
understanding the current state of knowledge of food web research.
