Items related to The Biology of Lemmings (Linnean Society Symposium)
A number of questions, both truly scientific and also of popular mythology, have surrounded the biology of lemmings, and a large amount of research has been carried out on them. Despite this, much remains to be resolved, and although the myth of the suicidal rodent can now be dispelled, the facts behind the population behaviour of lemmings still require further study. In this book, Stenseth and Ims have brought together a number of contributions from both North America and Europe which review current understanding of the taxonomy, population biology, feeding and community ecology of lemmings. The chapters are grouped into theme sections, each being prefaced by an introductory review by the editors in order to present a coherent overview of the subject. Finally, six appendices give detailed advice on how to study lemmings.
