"This book spells out the theoretical structure, methodology and philosophy of the
science of autecology. The autecological approach focuses on the interactions of individual
organisms (and their species-specific adaptations) with the spatio-temporal dynamics
of their environment as a basis for interpreting patterns of diversity and abundance
in natural systems. This organism-based approach to ecological interpretation provides
a strong alternative to more traditional approaches and relates mechanistically to
the underlying disciplines of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. The book includes
illustrations, specific examples, graphs, maps, and other diagrams"
