Because of its clarity and conciseness, the book is also recommended as an introductory text for students.

  6. Ecology is the scientific study of interactions between organisms of the same or different species, and between organisms and their nonliving environment. One of the main goals of ecologists is to explain the abundance and distribution of organisms over space and time. The scope of ecology includes all sorts of interactions, from the most ...
