9780412994111: Individual Behavior and Community Dynamics: 20 (Population and Community Biology Series, 20)

Synopsis

A book blending evolution and trophic dynamics, taking into account recent advances in both behavioral and population ecology, is long overdue. A central objective of this book is to consider whether adaptive behavioral decisions on the individual organism level might tend to stabilize trophic interactions. A second major goal of the book is to explore the implications of presumably adaptive behaviors on trophic dynamics and the implications of trophic dynamics for the evolution of adaptive behaviors. All evolutionary biologists, ecologists, and behavioral ecologists should find this exciting volume essential reading.

A central objective of this work is to consider whether adaptive behavioural decisions on the individual organism level might tend to stabilize trophic interactions. A second goal of the book is to explore the implications of presumably adaptive behaviours on trophic dynamics and the implications of these dynamics for the evolution of such behaviours. This volume should be of interest to evolutionary biologists, ecologist and behavioural ecologists.
