The Evolutionary Strategies that Shape Ecosystems

By J. Philip Grime

Book Overview

"In summary, The Evolutionary Strategies that Shape Ecosystemsis well-written and stimulating, and encourages its readers to think about how all the pieces of ecology might fit together, from the scale of an individual organism to entire ecosystems. It would make a valuable addition to the library of any scientist interested in ecological and evolutionary strategies." (Austral Ecology, 1 October 2013)

"Certainly I have found this a useful way to think about conservation Management." (British Ecological Society, 1 April 2013)

"The case studies range from microbes to animals, and even palaeontology is included in the mix, making the book a very comprehensive resource for those interested in eco-evolutionary dynamics." (Teaching Biology, 20 December 2012)

"I recommend this book to people interested in evolutionary and ecological strategies in ecosystems, to those who think about universal patterns in organism life history tactics and also to those who love the challenge of linking ecology and evolution." (Basic and Applied Ecology, 1 November 2012)

"A significant contribution to the field and a must read for ecologists. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (Choice, 1 October 2012)
