Introduction to Population Ecology, 2nd
Edition is a comprehensive textbook covering all aspects
of population ecology. It uses a wide variety of field and
laboratory examples, botanical to zoological, from the tropics to
the tundra, to illustrate the fundamental laws of population
ecology. Controversies in population ecology are brought fully up
to date in this edition, with many brand new and revised examples
and data.
Each chapter provides an overview of how population theory has
developed, followed by descriptions of laboratory and field studies
that have been inspired by the theory. Topics explored include
single-species population growth and self-limitation, life
histories, metapopulations and a wide range of interspecific
interactions including competition, mutualism, parasite-host,
predator-prey and plant-herbivore. An additional final chapter, new
for the second edition, considers multi-trophic and other complex
interactions among species.
Throughout the book, the mathematics involved is explained with a
step-by-step approach, and graphs and other
visual aids are used to present a clear illustration of how the
models work. Such features make this an accessible introduction to
population ecology; essential reading for undergraduate and
graduate students taking courses in population ecology, applied
ecology, conservation ecology, and conservation biology, including
those with little mathematical experience.

Autoren-Porträt von Larry L. Rockwood
Larry Rockwood is Professor of Biology and Environmental Science and Policy, and Chairman of the Department of Biology at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, USA. He earned his B.S. degree in Biopsychology and his Ph.D. degree in Biology at the University of Chicago. His early research was conducted in Costa Rica where he studied foraging patterns in leaf-cutting ants. More recently he has collaborated on a variety of projects from human-coyote conflicts to aspects of avian ecology and plant ecology. He has been teaching introductory ecology, population ecology and tropical ecology for almost 40 years. In 2014 Dr Rockwood was presented with the David J. King Award in recognition of 'outstanding contributions to enhancing teaching and learning' by George Mason University.
