Over the past twenty-five years, the effects of the spatial
distribution and scaling of resources on animal populations have
been increasingly studied in wildlife biology, landscape ecology,
conservation biology, and related fields. However, spatial patterns
change over time. In Temporal Dimensions of Landscape Ecology:
Wildlife Responses to Variable Resources, the authors discuss the
effects that temporal changes in resources have on animal
populations. Resource availability and quality are not distributed
homogeneously over time, depending for example on predictable
changes in seasons, mating and birthing cycles, unpredictable
resource pulses and weather-related phenomena, ecological
disturbances, and historical legacies. Temporal Dimensions of
Landscape Ecology brings together chapters that address the idea of
current as well as historical temporal influences on resource
availability, quality, and distribution. The authors draw attention
to the neglected temporal issues so important to understanding
species and community responses. This book will be of interest to
both wildlife and conservation students and practitioners working
with temporal and spatial scale issues.
