Conceptual Breakthroughs in Evolutionary Ecology

Although biologists recognize evolutionary ecology by name, many only have a limited understanding of its conceptual roots and historical development.

Conceptual Breakthroughs in Evolutionary Ecology fills that knowledge gap in a thought-provoking and readable format.

Written by a world-renowned evolutionary ecologist, this book embodies a unique blend of expertise in combining theory and experiment, population genetics and ecology.

Following an easily-accessible structure, this book encapsulates and chronologizes the history behind evolutionary ecology.

It also focuses on the integration of age-structure and density-dependent selection into an understanding of life-history evolution.
