This is a comprehensive textbook on tropical ecology for university students in tropical countries, students elsewhere who are interested in tropical studies, and those involved in resource planning and management in developing countries. The author's main objectives are to provide an up-to-date text illustrating ecological concepts with tropical examples, to compare and contrast the features of tropical and extratropical ecology, and finally, to provide an ecological view of environmental effects of rapid cultural changes in tropical developing countries. Examples of both pure and applied ecology are taken from the whole tropical terrestrial zone including Africa, the Americas, southern Asia, Oceania and northern Australia. Part 1 deals with basic ecology, but, unlike other texts covering similar ground, assesses the state of knowledge in tropical ecology and makes clear comparisons with the temperate zone. Part 2 examines human ecology and draws heavily from the conceptual and descriptive information presented in the preceding chapters.
