Belgrano, Andrea
Aquatic Food Webs : An ecosystem approach [ electronic resource ] / by Andrea Belgrano, Ursula M. Scharler, Jennifer Dunne, and Robert E. Ulanowicz. - Oxford Scholarship Online , 2007
This book provides a synthesis of theoretical and empirical food web research. Whether they are binary systems or weighted networks, food webs are of particular interest to ecologists by providing a macroscopic view of ecosystems. They describe interactions between species and their environment, and subsequent advances in the understanding of their structure, function, and dynamics are of vital importance to ecosystem management and conservation. This book covers issues of structure, function, scaling, complexity, and stability in the contexts of conservation, fisheries, and climate. Although the focus of this volume is upon aquatic food webs (where many of the recent advances have been made), many other issues are addressed.
