Books in the Theoretical Ecology Series series

Challenges us to rethink what factors may determine ecological and evolutionary pathways of food web development. This book touches upon the intriguing idea that trophic interactions drive patterns and dynamics at different levels of biological organization.

Addresses the historical development and evolution of theoretical ideas in the field of ecology. This book is structured in 5 major sections including population ecology, epidemiology, community ecology, evolutionary biology and ecosystem ecology.

Decades of research in ecology have documented how patterns of complexity and regularity are the consequences of deceptively simple rules that determine the nature of the patterns created. This book explains how simple beginnings result in complicated results. It includes data from a proven model system in population dynamics.
