Book Description

Publication Date: July 1996 | ISBN-10: 9810224508 | ISBN-13: 978-9810224509

This text begins with the modelling of evolutionary constraints on morphological diversity in ecology and then extends to development and evolution. The book uses tractable, traditional models and maths, as well as linked traditional ecological equations with production and consumption. It also contains powerful models and has applied them, for example, in chemical ecology.
