Titre(s) : Conceptual ecology and invasion biology [Texte électronique] : reciprocal approaches to nature / edited by Marc William Cadotte, Sean M. McMahon and Tadashi Fukami
Publication : Dordrecht : Springer, 2006
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Collection : Invading nature ; v. 1
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"In this edited volume, global experts in ecology and evolutionary biology explore
how theories in ecology elucidate the invasion processes while also examining how
specific invasions informs ecological theory. This reciprocal benefit is highlighted
in a number of scales of organization; population, community and biogeographic, while
employing example invaders in all major groups of organisms and from a number of regions
around the globe. The chapters in this volume utilize many of the cutting edge observational,
experimental, analytical and computational methods used in modern ecology. Through
merging conceptual ecology and invasion biology we can obtain a better understanding
of the invasion process while also developing a better understanding at how ecological
systems function."--Jacket
