The Ecological Consequences of Environmental Heterogeneity: 40th Symposium of the British Ecological Society (Symposia of the British Ecological Society) - Tapa blanda

The last decade has seen many important advances in the measurement and interpretation of the impacts of environmental heterogeneity upon organisms and ecological processes. Progress has been made at a range of scales of organization. Following a Symposium on the Ecological Consequences of Environmental Heterogeneity, held in 1999, a team of experts has collaborated to produce this volume, which discusses the effects of environmental heterogeneity. It includes discussion of the effects of spatial and temporal heterogeneity on individuals, populations, communities and biodiversity, and of the management and conservation implications of environmental heterogeneity.
