Ecology Is A Fascinating Subject. This Is A Book To Introduce You To It And The Problems Ecologists Try To Analyze. Above All It Is An Attempt To Present The Subject In A Direct, Simple Form Without Including The Detail That Is Necessary In A More Conventional Textbook And Without Burdening The Subject With Abstruse Definitions Or Voluminous Statistics. So Do Not View This Book As A Text But As Supplemental Reading Designed For An Introductory Biology Course Or For A First Course In Ecology.

Coloniality in the Cliff Swallow

The Effect of Group Size on Social Behavior

By: Charles R. Brown,Mary Bomberger Brown

Many animal species live and breed in colonies. Although biologists have documented numerous costs and benefits of group living, such as increased competition for limited resources and more pairs of eyes to watch for predators, they often still do not agree on why coloniality evolved in the first place. Drawing on their twelve-year study of a population of cliff swallows in Nebraska, the Browns investigate twenty-six social and ecological costs and benefits of coloniality, many never before addressed in a systematic way for any species. They explore how these costs and benefits are reflected in reproductive success and survivorship, and speculate on the evolution of cliff swallow coloniality. This work, the most comprehensive and detailed study of vertebrate coloniality to date, will be of interest to all who study social animals, including behavioral ecologists, population biologists, ornithologists, and parasitologists. Its focus on the evolution of coloniality will also appeal to evolutionary biologists and to psychologists studying decision making in animals.

The Correspondence of Charles Darwin: Volume 25, 1877

By: Charles Darwin

This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the nineteenth century. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on correspondence to collect data from all over the world, and to discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically: volume 25 includes letters from 1877, the year in which Darwin published Forms of Flowers and with his son Francis carried out experiments on plant movement and bloom on plants. Darwin was awarded an honorary LL.D. by Cambridge University, and appeared in person to receive it. The volume contains a number of appendixes, including two on the albums of photograph sent to Darwin by his Dutch, German, and Austrian admirers.
