Size-Structured Populations : Ecology and Evolution

At last both ecology and evolution are covered in this study on the dynamics of <b>size-structured populations.</b> How does natural selection shape growth patterns and life cycles of individuals, and hence the size-structure of populations? This book will stimulate biologists to look into some important and interesting biological problems from a new angle of approach, concerning: - life history evolution, - intraspecific competition and niche theory, - structure and dynamics of ecological communities.
