Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Population dynamics and animal behaviour are two subjects that have developed almost independently, despite widespread acceptance of the idea that they must have been related. The major objective of this book is to demonstrate how aspects of the population ecology of vertebrates, such as population size, migration systems, and the response of populations to ecological change, can be directly and realistically related to behaviour. Building on the strong theoretical foundation that now underpins behavioural ecology, the author suggests how to extrapolate from behavioural interactions to population-level phenomena, and explains the reasoning behind his approaches. Each chapter presents a combination of theory and empirical examples, and a chapter on modelling techniques is included. This book will be stimulating and useful to students and researchers in behaviour, population ecology, and conservation biology.

Recensione

an accessible and stimulating account of an important topic, and shows that the approach can work ... It deserves to be widely rerad. (Alasdair Houston, University of Bristol, TREE vol. 12, no. 3 March 1997)

The chapters of the book are arranged in a very logical fashion, moving from one subject to the next in a natural progression. ... Readers will be pleased to find the text both readable and informative. ... this is a fine example of a book that will be useful to a range of readers whether they be undergraduates, postgraduates or researchers in various fields. Well written, clear and informative, this is really the way all such books should be presented. (Journal of Animal Ecology, 66, 602-605)
