Conceptual Ecology and Invasion Biology
Springer 2006; US$ 39.99The conservation threat represented by invasive species is well-known, but the scientific opportunities are underappreciated. This work explores how theories in ecology elucidate the invasion processes while also examining how specific invasions inform ecological theory. more...
Ice Age Southern Andes
Elsevier Science 2003; US$ 220.00The Southern Andes, stretching from the subtropics to the subantarctic, are ideally located for palaeoenvironmental research. Over the broad and continuous latitudinal extent of the cordillera (-24˚), vegetation is adjusted to climatic gradients and atmospheric circulation patterns. Opposed to the prevailing Southern Westerlies, the Southern... more...

Ecology of Social Evolution
Springer 2008; US$ 169.99Research on the evolution of social behaviour has been dominated by genetic relatedness for a long time; however, both recent empirical studies and theoretical concepts give growing evidence for ecological factors acting as very prominent additional or alternative driving forces in social evolution. Now the time is ripe to investigate similarities... more...
Assessment of the Fate and Effects of Toxic Agents on Water Resources
Springer 2007; US$ 99.99Like all limited and vulnerable resources, water has become one of the potential targets of terrorists. This volume addresses the basic scientific concepts that must be integrated to minimize damages and optimize recovery operations in the aftermath of such an attack. more...
