The Ecology of Plant Secondary Metabolites
From Genes to Global Processes
Av Glenn R. Iason, Marcel Dicke m. fl.
Häftad, 2012
788 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) such as terpenes and phenolic compounds are known to have numerous ecological roles, notably in defence against herbivores, pathogens and abiotic stresses and in interactions with competitors and mutualists. This book reviews recent developments in the field to …
Trait-Mediated Indirect Interactions
Ecological and Evolutionary Perspectives
Av Takayuki Ohgushi, Oswald Schmitz m. fl.
Häftad, 2012
1031 kr
Lägg i varukorg
There is increasing evidence that the structure and functioning of ecological communities and ecosystems are strongly influenced by flexible traits of individuals within species. A deep understanding of how trait flexibility alters direct and indirect species interactions is crucial for addressing …

Their Role in the Maintenance of Species Diversity
Av David Burslem, Michelle Pinard m. fl.
Häftad, 2005
949 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Tropical ecosystems house a significant proportion of global biodiversity. To understand how these ecosystems function we need to appreciate not only what plants, animals and microbes they contain, but also how they interact with each other. This volume, first published in 2005, synthesises the …
Biological Diversity and Function in Soils
Av Richard Bardgett, Michael Usher m. fl.
Häftad, 2005
1107 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Soil has generally been regarded as something of a 'black box' by ecologists. The importance of soil is obvious: it provides physical support for plants, and both the living and non-living components contribute to a variety of important environmental functions. Soil is a species-rich habitat, but …
Island Colonization
The Origin and Development of Island Communities
Av Ian Thornton, Tim New
Häftad, 2007
846 kr
Lägg i varukorg
New or recently sterilized islands (for example through volcanic activity), provide ecologists with natural experiments in which to study colonization, development and establishment of new biological communities. Studies carried out on islands like this have provided answers to fundamental …
Body Size: The Structure and Function of Aquatic Ecosystems
Av Alan G. Hildrew, David G. Raffaelli m. fl.
Häftad, 2007
878 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Ecologists have long struggled to predict features of ecological systems, such as the numbers and diversity of organisms. The wide range of body sizes in ecological communities, from tiny microbes to large animals and plants, is emerging as the key to prediction. Based on the relationship between …
Scaling Biodiversity
Av David Storch, Pablo Marquet m. fl.
Häftad, 2007
1058 kr
Lägg i varukorg
We know that there are tens of millions of plant and animal species, but we do not know enough to be able to describe the patterns and processes that characterise the distribution of species in space, time and taxonomic groups. Given that in practical terms it is impossible to expect to be able to …
Speciation and Patterns of Diversity
Av Roger Butlin, Jon Bridle m. fl.
Häftad, 2009
722 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Bringing together the viewpoints of leading ecologists concerned with the processes that generate patterns of diversity, and evolutionary biologists who focus on mechanisms of speciation, this book opens up discussion in order to broaden understanding of how speciation affects patterns of …
Birds and Habitat
Relationships in Changing Landscapes
Häftad, 2012
993 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The successful conservation of bird species relies upon our understanding of their habitat use and requirements. In the coming decades the importance of such knowledge will only grow as climate change, the development of new energy sources and the needs of a growing human population intensify the, …
