Effects of Resource Distribution on Animal Plant Interactions de Mark D. Hunter

Effects of Resource Distribution on Animal Plant Interactions

Editat de Mark D. Hunter, Takayuki Ohgushi, Peter W. Price
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 feb 1992
Aimed primarily at advanced graduate students and professional biologists, this book explores the degree to which animal*b1plant interactions are determined by plant and animal variability. Many of the patterns seen in natural communities appear to result from cascading effects up as well as down the trophic system. Variability among primary producers can influence animal and plant population quality and dynamics, community structure, and the evolution of animal*b1plant interations.

Recenzii

"It is likely that anyone interested in the issues of population limitation and regulation of herbivore community assemblage in terrestial systems will find 'meat for thought' here." --ECOLOGY

"This book would serve as an excellent basis for a graduate-level course in plant-animal interactions...Most authors have made synthetic arguments and presented new hypotheses. Because of this effort, most of the chapters retain a freshness that engage the reader's interest and stimulates further discussion." --TREE
