Inhaltsangabe

Soay Sheep synthesises one of the most detailed studies of demography and dynamics in a naturally regulated population of mammals. Drawing on studies over nearly twenty years, it provides unique insights into the regulation of herbivore populations and the effects of environmental change on selection and adaptation. Essential reading for vertebrate ecologists, demographers, evolutionary biologists and behavioural ecologists.

Críticas

' A major, very important book in population biology, with first class contributors ... a most valuable contribution to the ecology literature. I recommend it most highly.' Charles J. Krebs, University of British Columbia

'A remarkable long-term study by a remarkable group of scientists ... a pleasure to read... exemplifies how great advances in animal ecology can be achieved through the cooperation of researchers with different skills and interests.' Marco Festa-Bianchet, Université de Sherbrook

'Soay Sheep will undoubtedly become a classic text in population biology literature. The editors should be acknowledged for producing a book that, even with so many coauthors, follows a coherent style and contains careful cross-referencing across its chapters.' TRENDS in Ecology and Evolution
