It explores cutting-edge topics in the field, drawing on and highlighting the links between theory and the latest empirical studies. The sections are structured around a series of key topics, including behavioral ecology; species interactions; population ecology; food webs, communities and ecosystems; and broad patterns in nature. Chapters progress logically from the small scale to the large; from individual species through to species interactions, populations and communities. Application sections at the end of each chapter outline the practicality of ecological concepts and show how ecological information and concepts can be useful in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Each chapter ends with a summary, providing a brief recap, followed by a set of questions and discussion topics designed to encourage independent and creative thinking"--cProvided by publisher. 0aInsectsxEcology. 7aSCIENCE / Life Sciences / Zoology / Entomology2bisacsh.1 aPrice, Peter W...[et al].d1938- ,eauthor.q(Peter Wilfried),  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBK  bre10 2010-10-22cre10 2010-10-22 ONIXare10 2010-11-15 telework heading correctionaxe10 2011-12-20 2 copies rec'd., to CIP ver.  c24952d24952  00102ddc406595_700000000000000_INS708NFIC947838aDUSLbDUSLcGENd2013-06-24epurchasedo595.7 INSp479822r2014-12-28w2014-12-28yBK
