Presenting new approaches to studying food webs, this book uses
practical management and policy examples to demonstrate the theory
behind ecosystem management decisions and the broader issue of
sustainability. All the information that readers need to use food
web analyses as a tool for understanding and quantifying transition
processes is provided. Advancing the idea of food webs as complex
adaptive systems, readers are challenged to rethink how changes in
environmental conditions affect these systems. Beginning with the
current state of thinking about community organisation, complexity
and stability, the book moves on to focus on the traits of
organisms, the adaptive nature of communities and their impacts on
ecosystem function. The final section of the book addresses the
applications to management and sustainability. By helping to
understand the complexities of multispecies networks, this book
provides insights into the evolution of organisms and the fate of
ecosystems in a changing world.
