Mutualism and Community Organization: Behavioural, Theoretical, and Food-Web Approaches

During the past two decades, detailed information on the life of organisms has shown that mutualistic or commensalistic relations play important roles in biological associations, even among species sharing the same or similar resources. This volume on community ecology brings these mutualistic interactions into sharp focus. It describes synergistic reactions among living organisms, puts forward theoretical explanations, and explores their potential impact on community structure. The book highlights several contributions from noted Japanese ecologists whose valuable work is being made more widely accessible in this volume for the first time.
