Autecology (eBook, PDF)

Organisms, Interactions and Environmental Dynamics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book spells out the theoretical structure, methodology and philosophy of the science of autecology. The autecological approach focuses on the interactions of individual organisms (and their species-specific adaptations) with the spatio-temporal dynamics of their environment as a basis for interpreting patterns of diversity and abundance in nat
