Individual Behavior and Community Dynamics

This textbook blends evolution and trohpic dynamics, taking into account recent advances in both behavioural and population ecology. A central objective of this work is to consider whether adaptive behavioural decisions on the individual organism level might tend to stabilize trophic interactions. A second goal of the book is to explore the implications of presumably adaptive behaviours on trophic dynamics and the implications of these dynamics for the evolution of such behaviours. This volume should be of interest to evolutionary biologists, ecologist and behavioural ecologists.
