| Summary |
"The premise of this book is that studying animal ecology should begin with the behaviors and characteristics of individual organisms, which are then put into the context of breeding and social groups and then, macroscopically, considered in terms of how the abiotic and biotic environment shapes the development of animal populations, habitats, and ecosystems. This book presents conceptual foundations for an audience of college students and early-career wildlife professionals"-- Provided by publisher |
