Ecology: The Experimental Analysis of Distribution and Abundance

by Charles J. Krebs

Now in its fourth edition, this text continues to present ecology as a series of problems for students to analyze critically. The author emphasizes the role of experiments in testing ecological ideas, discusses many contemporary, controversial problems, and explains all mathematical concepts of ecology and reinforces concepts with research references and chapter-ending review questions. This edition has been updated and reviewed by experts in the field to feature coverage of the emerging areas of behavioural and physiolgical ecology and a more in-depth discussion of population genetics, mutualism and succession. It also includes a new two-colour format, four-colour insert, and new features to aid learning.

[Lorne Rothman]

The best ecology textbook available.

[Sam]

A must have for any ecologist's/biologist's/zoologist's library. This book was never left alone for very long during my studies and my own copy is covered with various notes and highlights (and the occasional tea stain) and I still use it even now.
