Introduction to Population Ecology, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive
textbook covering all aspects of population ecology. It uses a wide
variety of field and laboratory examples, botanical to zoological,
from the tropics to the tundra, to illustrate the fundamental laws
of population ecology. Controversies in population ecology are
brought fully up to date in this edition, with many brand new and
revised examples and data. Each chapter provides an overview of how
population theory has developed, followed by descriptions of
laboratory and field studies that have been inspired by the theory.
Topics explored include single-species population growth and
self-limitation, life histories, metapopulations and a wide range
of interspecific interactions including competition, mutualism,
parasite-host, predator-prey and plant-herbivore. An additional
final chapter, new for the second edition, considers multi-trophic
and other complex interactions among species. Throughout the book,
the mathematics involved is explained with a step-by-step approach,
and graphs and other visual aids are used to present a clear
illustration of how the models work. Such features make this an
accessible introduction to population ecology; essential reading
for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in
population ecology, applied ecology, conservation ecology, and
conservation biology, including those with little mathematical
experience.
