Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University
Press. Marine Community Ecology and Conservation was written to
give advanced undergraduate and graduate students a current
overview of what is known about the structure, organization, and
conservation of organism assemblages that live on the sea floor. It
largely focuses on advancements over the past decade since the
publication of Marine Community Ecology (2001). Each chapter is
written by leading researchers to give students an up-to-date look
at these communities, and what remains to be learned about them.
The book is organized into three parts. The first part explores
general processes that generate pattern in benthic communities.
These introductory chapters examine how physical and biological
forces interacting with historical and genetic constraints operate
to structure marine communities. The second part examines the
ecology of specific marine benthic community types, ranging from
rocky shores and soft substrate habitats to kelp forests to coral
reefs. These chapters are intended to be the most current summaries
available of our understanding of these communities. The final part
examines conservation and management issues of marine communities.
The closing chapters emphasize how pervasively and profoundly
marine communities are impacted by humans and outlines how we can
use our understanding of these systems to manage and preserve the
valuable services and resources they provide. Marine Community
Ecology and Conservation is extensively referenced and includes a
bibliography of over 5,000 citations. It is suitable as a text for
advanced marine ecology courses and seminars, as well as a general
reference for students and researchers.
