Inhaltsangabe

Drawing from his graduate course, Ebert (biology, State U. of San Diego) introduces students who have completed an elementary course in ecology to the analysis of animal and plant life cycles as a central element in managing and conserving species. He emphasizes analyzing population data from a wide variety of organisms, and makes examples of terrestrial and aquatic plants and of animals from equatorial rain forests to the arctic tundra. He includes computer programs in BASIC for population projection, matrix analysis using sensitivity and elasticity, individual growth and survival models, and analyzing size- frequency distributions.
