Plant and Animal Populations
註釋Explaining how the evolution of life history characteristics depends upon traits such as life span, schedules of births and death, and growth and survival estimates, this text addresses the ever-increasing challenges of documenting population demographic changes. Serving as a bridge from introductory ecology to both applied and theoretical demography, the text emphasizes the analysis of population data taken from a variety of organisms, including terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals found in habitats from equitorial rain forests to the arctic tundra. It also contains computer programs, written in BASIC, including tools for population projection, matrix analysis using both sensitivity and elasticity, individual growth and survival models, and the analysis of size frequency distributions.
