This textbook concentrates on problems of distribution and abundance at the population and community levels. Topics include: methods of analyzing distribution, factors that limit distribution, population parameters, population growth, species interaction, community organization, ecosystem metabolism, and ecosystem health. Applied problems, like harvesting, pest control, and conservation biology, are also discussed. Appendixes include a primer on population genetics, the estimation of the size of the marked population in capture- recapture studies, instantaneous and finite rates, species diversity measures of heterogeneity, and a glossary. A lab manual accompanies the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
