Evolutionary Ecology simultaneously unifies conceptual and empirical advances in evolutionary ecology and provides a volume that can be used as either a primary textbook or a supplemental reading in an advanced undergraduate or graduate course. The focus of the book is on current concepts in evolutionary ecology, and the empirical study of these concepts. The editors have assembled a group of prominent biologists who have made significant contributions to this field. They both synthesize the current state of knowledge and identify areas for future investigation. Evolutionary Ecology will be of general interest to researchers and students in both ecology and evolutionary biology. Researchers in evolutionary ecology that want an overview of the current state of the field, and graduate students that want an introduction to the field, will find this book very valuable. This volume can also be used as a primary textbook or supplemental reading in both upper division and graduate courses/seminars in Evolutionary Ecology.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"[A]n excellent overview of research in evolutionary ecology. The book is extremely up-to-date, authoritative, well written, and ... well produced. ... The editors certainly are to be commended on the list of authors that they have gathered. The table of contents reads like a miniature who's who of evolutionary ecology ... The authors and editors have done a better job of referring between chapters than in any other edited volume I have read. ... a valuable book for a wide audience."--Ecology

"This work introduces many of the important topics in evolutionary ecology. ... [the] chapters [are] written almost exclusively by notable scientists ..."--Choice

"[E]ven experts working within particular areas of the field will find many of the chapters outside their primary area of research interesting and stimulating ... the 35 authors constitute a vertiable "who's who" in the field. ... the breadth of coverage is impressive ... In many respects the book has a cohesiveness usually found only in single authored works."--The Quarterly Review of Biology

Good For Background Knowledge

September 27, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This text is a collection of critical papers on the topic of Evolutionary Ecology. It serves as good background information on some of the major trends and theories supporting evolutionary ecology. Could be very useful to the evolutionary ecologist, adding to one's growing library.

Good Introduction Evolutionary Ecology

December 21, 2012

Format: Paperback

This was assigned in a graduate Evolutionary Ecology course. Many of the chapters were very informative. Occasionally, they are nothing more than rehashing an author's (or authors') previous review of a subject. As a new student to evolutionary ecology I found it extremely helpful as an introduction to the broader themes.
