Synopsis:

For courses in ecology.

• Presenting a comprehensive, yet concise and clear, overview of ecology―
• evolutionary, behavioral, population, community, and applied―this innovative text covers all of the essentials required by students taking a sophomore or junior level course in ecology. The Fourth Edition retains a broad scope and is the first ecology text to completely integrate the applied sections into the theories of ecology.
