Book Summary of Fundamentals of Ecology
Master the study of ecology in the twenty-first century with FUNDAMENTALS OF ECOLOGY! Designed to educate a wide audience about ecological science, this biology text shows you the application of ecological principles in the real world and how to use what you learn to solve problems in fields such as resource management, conservation biology, ecological toxicology, ecosystem health, landscape ecology, and restoration ecology. Introductory statements, diagrams, models, photographs, and a book-specific website are just a few of the tools found throughout the text that will help you succeed.

Salient Features
• New sections on the ecological footprint, global climate change, soil and fire ecology, metapopulation dynamics, population genetics, biodiversity, neutral theory, and landscape sustainability provide an integrative perspective to the field of ecology
• A top-down ecosystem/landscape approach is maintained, structured on an increasing hierarchal (population, community, ecosystem, landscape, regional, and global) levels-of-organization underpinning
• Many pedagogical enhancements, including introductory statements, engaging diagrams, models, and photographs illustrating principles, concepts, and mechanisms in evolutionary and integrative biology
• Real world examples, including classic and current references, render the content more engaging and concrete
• Discussions address how knowledge of the principles of ecology can help solve problems in fields such as resource management, conservation biology, ecological toxicology, ecosystem health, landscape ecology, and restoration ecology
• Meticulous and thorough references are provided
• Clear statement and response structure organizes all chapters
• Glossary provides convenient access to key terms used in each chapter
