Description for Food Webs (MPB-50)
Paperback. Arguing that various classical food web theories can be looked at collectively and in a consistent and testable way, this book synthesizes modern and classical perspectives into a general unified theory. It brings together outcomes from population, community, and ecosystem-level approaches under the common currency of energy or material fluxes. Series: Monographs in Population Biology. Num Pages: 256 pages, 21 halftones. 56 line illus. 2 tables. BIC Classification: RNC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 236 x 165 x 20. Weight in Grams: 418.
Human impacts are dramatically altering our natural ecosystems but the exact repercussions on ecological sustainability and function remain unclear. As a result, food web theory has experienced a proliferation of research seeking to address these critical areas. Arguing that the various recent and classical food web theories can be looked at collectively and in a highly consistent and testable way, Food Webs synthesizes and reconciles modern and classical perspectives into a general unified theory. Kevin McCann brings together outcomes from population-, community-, and ecosystem-level approaches under the common currency of energy or material fluxes. He shows that these approaches--often studied ... Read more

Reviews for Food Webs (MPB-50)
"This is a must-read for ecologists interested in ecosystem dynamics."
Choice "This is potentially an indispensable book for ecologists and paleoecologists alike, synthesizing food-web theory and outcomes from population-level up to whole-ecosystem-level approaches. McCann offers clear explanations of the dynamics of food webs using a mathematical approach, and while the book will be of particular use to graduate students, it may ... Read more
