There are lots of books I really admire and that have profoundly influenced my thinking as an ecologist that I would not argue that every ecologist should read. The realized niche is the set of environmental plus ecological conditions under which a species persists. Nix, B. Our collective failure to intervene, or even to understand, portends disaster.
You'll discover new ways to view the world of surprise and wonderment that exists all around us in this great web of life. Woinarski, B. Leading experts review the chemistry of insect defense; phyletic dmoninance; social regulation; eavesdropping, alarm and deceit; and reproduction. Hanson - Philosophical LibraryThis practical dictionary is for the use of students, teachers, and investigators in ecology and related fields such as range management, forestry, wildlife, conservation, agronomy, and limnology. Other species have developed similar markings to "trick" predators into leaving them alone. I believe that a textbook should be topical, relevant, and interesting to read.
Written by a physician and world expert on climate and health and an award-winning science journalist, the book reveals the surprising links between global warming and cholera, malaria, lyme disease, asthma, and other health threats. Benton - McGraw-HillThis book is an attempt to synthesize some of the widely scattered information primarily concerned with the non-laboratory aspects of biology and to indicate the importance of this information against the background of the whole field. As you delve into the biosphere's intricate network of relationships, you develop a deeper appreciation of the rich complexity of the life around you. He is also a member of an advisory board to Conservation International helping to establish appropriate conservation responses to climate change.

Behaviors corresponding to higher levels occur at slow rates. In this compelling lecture course, behavioral ecologist Eric G.
In Earth at the Crossroads, you examine the same intriguing questions that ecologists themselves contemplate as they study life from this unique perspective: What forces shape the living systems around us?
Sodhi, Paul R. Professor Bush has spent more than 20 years in ecological research and has worked in some of the world's most remote locations. They will discuss their research in Maine, around Boston, and at Walden Ecology of a changing planet book to illuminate how climate change is visible around us, and ways we might act within our local communities to mitigate these challenges.
Written by a physician and world expert on climate and health and an award-winning science journalist, the book reveals the surprising links between global warming and cholera, malaria, lyme disease, asthma, and other health threats.
Through vivid examples and accessible explanations, Professor Strauss explicates the field's key theories and raises thought-provoking questions that motivate scientists in this vital area of study. He is an authority on the history of South and Central American tropical ecosystems, and on island biogeography.
With Professor Strauss as your guide, you'll investigate the remarkably complex workings of Earth's biosphere and learn about the myriad forces that shape the world's habitats, from the movement of water and nutrients within an ecosystem to the reproductive strategies employed by plants and animals around the world.
Mackey, H. In part because there are other ways to acquire the requisite knowledge besides reading a textbook. Strauss of Boston College provides you with a comprehensive overview that is a hallmark of the study of ecology.
Rich will discuss her research on overlapping primate and human health in South and East Africa in the context of global climate change. Modeling Nature is a candidate, though with a focus on the population-y side of ecology.
Ecosystems, in turn, interact with one another to form the biosphere: the zone of life on our planet. Although scientists must learn facts, I have tried to emphasize the concepts and examples of ecology, and why it is relevant to our everyday lives, rather than produce an encyclopedia of indigestible statistics.
Course No. Understand the Complexity of Life on Earth Earth at the Crossroads opens with an introduction in which you explore the development of ecology as a scientific discipline distinct from biology and other related areas of study.
But it's also a history of successes and solutions, as innovative scientists and engineers have developed new technologies and practices that allow humankind to thrive while reducing our impact on other species.
