Klappentext zu „Ecological Methods “
This classic text, whose First Edition one reviewer referred to as"the ecologists bible," has been substantially revised andrewritten. Not only have the advances made in the field since theSecond Edition been taken into account, but the scope has beenexplicitly extended to all macroscopic animals, with particularattention being paid to fish as well as other vertebrates.Ecological Methods provides a unique synthesis of themethods and techniques available for the study of populations andecosystems. Techniques used to obtain both absolute and relativepopulation estimates are described, and approaches to the directmeasurement of births, deaths, migration and the construction andinterpretation of life tables are reviewed.
The text is extensively illustrated, clearly describing a widerange of equipment and methods of analysis. Comprehensive andup-to-date bibliographies to each chapter fully cover the relevantliterature, and references are given to available computer programsand internet addresses. The book has an active web site providingadditional illustrations, details of equipment and programs, andreferences to work published since the revision was completed. Likethe earlier editions, this book will be an indispensable source ofreference to researchers and students at all levels in the fieldsof ecology, entomology and zoology.
