Product Description
"I would buy this book and recommend it to my students. It is well written and accessible, putting many of the fundamental principles of ecological models within the grasp of the majority of undergraduates." - Michael Gillman, Trends in Ecology and Evolution This text teaches students essential models in population and community ecology. It explains in detail the basic concepts of exponential and logistic population growth, age-structured demography, metapopulation dynamics, competition, predation and island biogeography. Carefully graded chapters contain material for beginning undergraduates to beginning graduate students.

Gotelli has done a great job with this book. He explains most things concisely as well as thoroughly. He not only mentions the concepts, but the people and events leading to the discovery of those concepts. This can be a rare thing in textbooks. The only complaint I have is that he doesn't always explain the derivations of his equations, he just wants us to trust him on them. Other than that, a great book on Ecology for its size.
