Summary:In the decade since the last edition of this classic text, vast changes have occurred in the ecological landscape.

Building on traditional foundations--evolution and adaptation, energy flow, population and community interactions, and behavioral ecology--the new edition of Ecology emphasizes modern concepts and approaches to present an accessible and comprehensive treatment of the field of ecology.
