This book was first published in 1995, a time when, like today,
there were mounting concerns that the management of our natural
global heritage was failing to arrest the rapid loss of
biodiversity. The problem may be traced to the extinction of
enormous numbers of 'specialised' species, especially in the
tropics. Tropical species either have highly particular resource
requirements, such as food or nesting hollows, or specific needs
for certain types of habitat, such as wetlands, making them
vulnerable to changing global conditions. This book is about
specialisation and generalisation in the use of resources and
habitats. The author uses a broad ecological perspective to address
three main questions. How do ecologists study variation in resource
and habitat use, and what do we know from these studies? How well
does theory account for observations, and what are the common
threads between disciplines? Finally, what is the relationship
between resource and habitat use? This book provides a
comprehensive analysis of ecological versatility.
