A unique problems-oriented approach

Ecology: The Experimental Analysis of Distribution and Abundance, 6th Edition builds on a clear writing style, historical perspective, and emphasis on data analysis with an updated, reorganised discussion of key topics and two new chapters on climate change and animal behaviour. Key concepts and key terms are now included at the beginning of each chapter to help students focus on what is most important within each chapter, mathematical analyses are broken down step by step in a new feature called 'Working with the Data,' concepts are reinforced throughout the text with examples from the literature, and end-of-chapter questions and problems emphasise application.
