| Specifically devised for first year life science students or students from other disciples taking ecology as a standalone unit: breadth and depth are perfectly balanced for a first course in ecology. Assumes little background knowledge and leads students gradually into the subject to build understanding, making it ideal for students from a range of disciplines. Uses a human angle to introduce ecological concepts in a way students will relate to and engage with, developing students’ confidence at each step. Detailed examples and case studies help build on the principles introduced in the text, allowing students to see ecological techniques in action. New to this edition. Case studies in each chapter provide a captivating insight into how ecologists approach problems. All diagrams are presented in full colour, and many new stunning photographs help students to visualise the concepts being described. Expanded coverage of soil; climate change; biodiversity; competition; conservation and sustainability presents a true picture of ecology today. |
