Animal population ecology comprises the study of variations,
regulation, and interactions of animal populations. This book
discusses the fundamental notions and findings of animal
populations on which most of the ecological studies are based. In
particular, the author selects the logistic law of population
growth, the nature of competition, sociality as an antithesis of
competition, the mechanism underlying the regulation of
populations, predator-prey interaction processes, and interactions
among closely related species competing over essential resources.
These are the notions that are considered to be well-established
facts or principles and are regularly taught at ecology classes or
introduced in standard textbooks. However, the author demonstrates
that these notions are still inadequately understood, or even
misunderstood, creating myths that would misguide ecologists in
carrying out their studies. He delves deeply into those notions to
reveal their real nature and draws a road map to the future
development of ecology.
