Spatial Ecology : The Role of Space in Population Dynamics and Interspecific Interactions (MPB-30) /
"Spatial Ecology addresses the fundamental effects of space on the dynamics of individual species and on the structure, dynamics, diversity, and stability of multispecies communities. Although the ecological world is unavoidably spatial, there have been surprisingly few attempts to determine ho...
