Plant ecology aims to study the distribution of various plant species across the globe, along with the several factors that affect plant biology and biodiversity. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the field with the help of topics such as distribution of plants, conservation of endangered species, biological interactions, etc. The researches and case-studies included in this book are provided by eminent experts from around the world. It is an essential guide for students, academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
