2003014860Oxford University Press 2003. Illustrated with maps and charts octavo pp xii 266 paperback a very good copy virtually as new. No species occurs everywhere. Indeed the majority are absent from most places and where they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these distributions - the structure of the geographic ranges of species. Gaston is particularly concerned with the factors that determine the limits to a species' geographic range how the sizes of those ranges vary and patterns in that variation. Also considered are the distribution of individuals amongst those sites where a species does occur and what determines that distribution and some of the practical implications of all these. Both in a pure and applied context ecologists need a broader perspective on their subject matter than has historically prevailed. This book provides one such perspective. A must have book for any researchers and graduate students studying macroecology biogeography and conservation biology. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Oxford University Press Paperback
2000014891Princeton University Press 2000. Octavo pp xvi 362 paperback a very good copy as new. Although there is extensive literature in the field of behavioral ecology that attempts to explain foraging of individuals social foraging-the ways in which animals search and compete for food in groups-has been relatively neglected. This book redresses that situation by providing both a synthesis of the existing literature and a new theory of social foraging. Giraldeau and Caraco develop models informed by game theory that offer a new framework for analysis. Social Foraging Theory contains the most comprehensive theoretical approach to its subject coupled with quantitative methods that will underpin future work in the field. The new models and approaches that are outlined here will encourage new research directions and applications. To date the analysis of social foraging has lacked unifying themes clear recognition of the problems inherent in the study of social foraging and consistent interaction between theory and experiments. This book identifies social foraging as an economic interaction between the actions of individuals and those of other foragers. This interdependence raises complex questions about the size of foraging groups the diversity of resources used and the propensity of group members to exploit each other or forage cooperatively. The models developed in the book will allow researchers to test their own approaches and predictions. Many years in development Social Foraging Theory will interest researchers and graduate students in such areas as behavioral ecology population ecology evolutionary biology and wildlife management.

"First published in 1925 Willis Linn Jepson's "Manual of the Flowering Plants of California" has been a standard reference for teachers students and naturalists. Since that time hundreds of new species have been identified and botanical investigation has become more sophisticated. Now Jepson's philosophy of making such information available to all is again realized in this new volume which includes a wealth of material accumulated over the past decades. With contributions from two hundred botanists across North America this is the most comprehensive resource and identification guide to nearly eight thousand varieties of native and naturalized California plants. The means to identify plants using key traits and illustrations is accompanied by special information such as horticultural requirements endangerment toxicity weed status and notes on the management of sensitive species. Identification keys have been designed for ease of use and terms have been simplified and illustrated making the new "Manual" the most authoritative field guide for the expert and amateur alike.".
