Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Communities in Temperate America: As Illustrated in the Chicago Region a Study in Animal Ecology Courses in field zoölogy usually lack the convenient background of organization which one finds in the doctrine of evolution when presenting the animal series from a structural standpoint. The need of some logical and philosophical background for the organization of natural history instruction into something more unified than haphazard discussions of such animals as were encountered in chance localities, was keenly felt at the beginning of the author's experience as a teacher of field zoology. Evolutionary background was tried, but failed and was rejected; genetics and faunistics proved inadequate. Behavior as presented and studied by zoologists was incomplete. Plant ecological methods were, when unadapted, applicable only in part, while much of physiology dealt with organs and internal processes. The organization of the data here presented is the result of many attempts and failures which at times made the task seem hopeless. The literature relating to this subject has been written almost exclusively from points of view which are very different from the one here presented. It is scattered, and the bibliography has never been brought together. Accordingly its incorporation here has called for the expenditure of much time, and often for reinterpretation, which is always fraught with danger of error. The time consumed in working over the literature has been great, but, for the reason stated, the amount covered has been relatively small, and the literature in foreign languages has not received its share of attention. Furthermore, since the bulletin is not written primarily for investigators, much of the literature not in English has been omitted from the Bibliography but some of it will be found in the papers cited. To present such a subject as we have before us without constant reference to the writings of such naturalists as Buffon, White, Darwin, Wallace, Bates, Belt, Hudson, Romanes, Audubon, Brehm, Fabre, Claude Bernard, Huber, Giard, Forel, Schmarda, Janet, Haase, Mobius, Dahl, and others (35a) seems at first thought quite unjustified, but a complete study of the works of such men would be almost a life's work in itself. The writer does not claim to have a detailed knowledge of all the articles written by these men. He knows them only in part. Their facts, in so far as they are known to him and relate to the questions at hand, tend to support the main contentions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ECOLOGICAL SURVEY on which this book is based began to be planned in 1942, and since 1945 has been mainly centred upon Oxford University's estate at Wytham Woods, where a rich series of habitats from open ground and limestone to woodland with many springs and marshes interspersed occupies a hill set in riverine surroundings. Here biological research workers from the University have accumulated a considerable body of knowledge, some of which I have arranged in a general setting that allows one to comprehend some of the inter-related parts of the whole system. It is also intended to provide a framework for understanding animal communities elsewhere. The ecological inquirer is, more than most scien tific people, apt to fmd himself lost in a large labyrinth of interrelations and variables. The dictionary defmes a labyrinth as 'an intricate structure of inter communicating passages, through which it is difficult to fmd one's way without a clue'. This could equally be a figurative description of plant and animal communi ties. The present book seeks to provide a plan of construction of the labyrinth and a few new clues that may help the inquirer to know where he is on the gene ral ecological map. In presenting this blue-print of animal communities I have avoided giving long lists of species such as the botanist, with his smaller kingdom, can handle fairly well.

Book excerpt: This volume represents a first attempt at holistically classifying and mapping ecological regions across all three countries of the North American continent. A common analytical methodology is used to examine North American ecology at multiple scales, from large continental ecosystems to subdivisions of these that correlate more detailed physical and biological settings with human activities on two levels of successively smaller units. The volume begins with an overview of North America from an ecological perspective, concepts of ecological regionalization. This is followed by descriptions of the 15 broad ecological regions, including information on physical and biological setting and human activities. The final section presents case studies in applications of the ecological characterization methodology to environmental issues. The appendix includes a list of common and scientific names of selected species characteristic of the ecological regions.
Download or read book Community Ecology written by Gary G. Mittelbach and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community ecology has undergone a transformation in recent years, from a discipline largely focused on processes occurring within a local area to a discipline encompassing a much richer domain of study, including the linkages between communities separated in space (metacommunity dynamics), niche and neutral theory, the interplay between ecology and evolution (eco-evolutionary dynamics), and the influence of historical and regional processes in shaping patterns of biodiversity. To fully understand these new developments, however, students continue to need a strong foundation in the study of species interactions and how these interactions are assembled into food webs and other ecological networks. This new edition fulfils the book's original aims, both as a much-needed up-to-date and accessible introduction to modern community ecology, and in identifying the important questions that are yet to be answered. This research-driven textbook introduces state-of-the-art community ecology to a new generation of students, adopting reasoned and balanced perspectives on as-yet-unresolved issues. Community Ecology is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers seeking a broad, up-to-date coverage of ecological concepts at the community level.
