Modern ecology, a complex and diverse field, is often difficult to introduce to undergraduate students in a way that conveys the excitement and enthusiasm that ecologists feel for their subject. In this text, the authors aim to inspire students by adopting a new approach to teaching ecology, treating the field as made up of several different concept-based subdisciplines. The text discusses six different kinds of ecology: landscape, physiological, eco-system, population, community and behavioural, focusing on the kind of questions ecologists ask about their world. Ideal for introductory courses, the book also covers the history of ecology and encourages students to apply concepts to new organisms, locations or applications. It gives students an accessible, engaging introduction to ecology, and provides a firm basis for choosing advanced courses and careers.

In the last few years, a handful of behavioural ecologists, increasingly concerned about species losses, have begun to address issues in conservation biology. Using data collected in the course of their fieldwork on mating systems, foraging behaviour, or habitat preferences, or simply by working on an endangered species, they have started to apply their findings to models of population growth and effective population size, hands-on management, and developing conservation strategies. This edited volume is the first attempt to link these disciplines formally.

In Tropical Forest Ecology, Egbert G. Leigh, Jr., one of the world's foremost tropical ecologists, introduces the reader to the tropical forest, and describes the intricate web of interdependence among the great diversity of tropical plants and animals. Focusing on the tropical forest on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, Leigh shows what Barro Colorado can tell us about other tropical forests--and what tropical forests can tell us about Barro Colorado. This book considers three essential questions for understanding the ecological organization of tropical forests. How do they stay green with their abundance of herbivores? Why do they have such a diversity of plants and animals? And what role does mutualism play in the ecology of tropical forests? Beautifully written and abundantly illustrated, Tropical Forest Ecology, will certainly appeal to a wide variety of scientists in the fields of evolution, tropical biology, botany, zoology, and natural history.
