Essentials of Ecology, 4th Edition presents introductory ecology in an accessible, state-of-the-art format designed to cultivate the novice student's understanding of and fascination with the natural world. In a concise, engaging style, this text outlines the essential principles of ecology from the theoretical fundamentals to their practical applications. Full color artwork, simple pedagogical features and a wide range of carefully-chosen examples make this book an ideal introduction to ecology for students at all levels.

Essentials of Ecology

Townsend, Colin R.

Howarth, Robert W.

Worldwide, Population Ecology is the leading textbook on this titled subject. Written primarily for students, it describes the present state of population ecology in terms that can be readily understood by undergraduates with little or no background in the subject. Carefully chosen experimental examples illustrate each topic, and studies of plants and animals are combined to show how fundamental principles can be derived that apply to both species. Use of complex mathematics ia avoided throughout the book, and what math is necessary is dealt with by examination of real experimental data rather than dull theory.

Wiley/Blackwell

Essentials of Ecology outlines the major tenets of ecology in a concise and simplified manner for the introductory level student. It presents a balanced overview of ecology, with examples drawn from terrestrial and aquatic environments, and from a variety of organism types. The text, in four color throughout, is arranged in a format that engages the student at all levels. To make learning easier and more relevant, the practical applications of ecology are also stressed wherever possible. <ul>
 <li>Wide range of examples - illustrating key points and concepts. 
</li>
<li>Does not assume prior maths knowledge - all mathematical concepts explained. 
</li>
<li>Applied approach - brings the student closer to the practical elements of ecology and its role in the world. 
</li>
<li>Four colour throughout - bringing the key concepts to life through the strategic use of colour. 
</li>
<li>Balanced treatment of ecosystem and organism type - presents a complete overview of ecology.

Investigating Animal Abundance: Capture-Recapture for Biologists

Univ Park Pr

Studies on animals and plants are integrated throughout, and there are several chapters dealing with topics given little attention in general. Mathematical and laboratory studies are described where necessary, but the major focus of the book is on real ecological systems. Undergraduates with no background experience will find the material accessible, while practising ecologists may also find it of interest. This book is intended for undergraduates, and professionals in the field.

Ecology is probably the oldest science. Soon after our primitive ancestors had their first conscious thoughts, they must have realized the value of knowing where they might find palatable and cascabel animals, and where they might be safe form ht enemies that sought to attack them.

A definitive guide to the depth and breadth of the ecological sciences, revised and updated The revised and updated fifth edition of Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems – now in full colour – offers students and practitioners a review of the ecological sciences. The previous editions of this book earned the authors the prestigious ‘Exceptional Life-time Achievement Award’ of the British Ecological Society – the aim for the fifth edition is not only to maintain standards but indeed to enhance its coverage of Ecology. In the first edition, 34 years ago, it seemed acceptable for ecologists to hold a comfortable, objective, not to say aloof position, from which the ecological communities around us were simply material for which we sought a scientific understanding. Now, we must accept the immediacy of the many environmental problems that threaten us and the responsibility of ecologists to play their full part in addressing these problems. This fifth edition addresses this challenge, with several chapters devoted entirely to applied topics, and examples of how ecological principles have been applied to problems facing us highlighted throughout the remaining nineteen chapters. Nonetheless, the authors remain wedded to the belief that environmental action can only ever be as sound as the ecological principles on which it is based. Hence, while trying harder than ever to help improve preparedness for addressing the environmental problems of the years ahead, the book remains, in its essence, an exposition of the science of ecology. This new edition incorporates the results from more than a thousand recent studies into a fully up-to-date text. Written for students of ecology, researchers and practitioners, the fifth edition of Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems is anessential reference to all aspects of ecology and addresses environmental problems of the future.

Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems

Essentials of Ecology presents introductory ecology in an accessible, state-of-the-art format designed to cultivate the novice student's understanding of, and fascination with, the natural world. In a concise, engaging style, this text outlines the essential principles of ecology from the theoretical fundamentals to their practical applications. Full color artwork, simple pedagogical features and a wide range of timely examples make this book an ideal introduction to ecology for students at all levels.
The second edition of this successful text provides expanded coverage and over 400 references including 100 new examples reflecting the vibrancy of the field. More than a simple update, the new edition also features new artwork http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/townsend/Images.htm, an enhanced design, and additional integrated applications to make Essentials of Ecology up-to-date and relevant. 
Outstanding features of the second edition of Essentials of Ecology include:
* Dedicated website - study resources and web research questions provide students and instructors with an enhanced, interactive experience of the book www.blackwellpublishing.com/townsend * Key Concepts - summarized at the beginning of each chapter * Unanswered questions - highlighted throughout, emphasizing that in ecology, as in any science, we have much left to learn * History boxes - outlining key landmarks in the development of ecology * Quantitative boxes - allowing mathematical aspects of ecology to be explained thoroughly without interrupting the flow of the text * Topical ECOncerns boxes - highlighting ethical, social and political questions in ecology * Review questions - included at the end of each chapter
