It is fully updated throughout, including two chapters devoted to climate change ecology, along with extensive coverage of disease ecology, and has been designed specifically to equip students with the tools to analyze and interpret real data. Each chapter emphasizes the linkage between observations, ideas, questions, hypotheses, predictions, results, and conclusions. Additional summary sections describe the development and evolution of research programs in each of ecology's core areas, providing students with essential context. Integrated discussion questions, along with end-of-chapter questions, encourage active learning. These are supported by online resources including tutorials that teach students to use the R programming language for statistical analyses of data presented in the text. Provides students with a confident understanding of the concepts and important issues through its engaging structure and rich pedagogy integrated throughout all the chapters Transforms students into active ecologists by emphasizing the ecological process right from the origin of ideas, and equipping them with the tools to analyze and draw conclusions from real data Engages students through its stunning imagery and personal narrative written by an experienced and passionate teacher TABLE OF CONTENTS Part I.
