Trophic Ecology (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a review of trophic concepts in ecology for organismal-oriented ecologists interested in ecosystem ecology. The book explains a wide range of topics including autotrophy, heterotrophy, omnivory, decomposition, foraging behavior and theory, trophic cascades, bioenergetics, and production. The book is intended for upper-level undergraduate students and entry-level graduate students interested in autecological, organismal approaches to ecology, community and ecosystem ecology. It is also a reference text for instructors teaching upper-division courses, providing examples from the literature, quantitative approaches to teach, and new hypotheses yet to be fully tested by ecologists.
