Description: The classic papers that laid the foundations of modern ecology alongside commentaries by noted ecologists. The period of 1970 to 1995 was a time of tremendous change in all areas of ecology from an increased rigor for experimental design and analysis to the reevaluation of paradigms new models for understanding and theoretical advances. Edited by ecologists Thomas E. Miller and Joseph Travis Foundations of Ecology II includes facsimiles of forty - six papers from this period alongside expert commentaries that discuss a total of fifty - three key studies addressing topics of diversity predation complexity competition coexistence extinction productivity resources distribution abundance and conservation. The result is more than a catalog of historic firsts; this book offers diverse perspectives on the foundational papers that led to today's ecological work. Like this book's 1991 predecessor Foundations of Ecology edited by Leslie A. Real and James H. Brown Foundations of Ecology II promises to be the essential primer for graduate students and practicing ecologists for decades to come.
