"Invasive nonindigenous species -- plants and animals that have been introduced to an ecosystem from someplace else -- are wreaking havoc around the globe. Because they did not co-evolve with species already in the ecosystem, they can profoundly disturb species interactions and ecosystem function.The state of Florida has one of the most severe exotic species problems in the country; as much as a quarter of many taxa in Florida are nonnat ..."

"In this volume, the authors discuss what practical contributions ecology can and can't make in applied science and environmental problem solving. In the first section, they discuss conceptual problems that have often prevented the formulation and evaluation of powerful, precise, general theories, explain why island biogeography is still beset with controversy and examine the ways in which science is value laden. In the second section, t ..."
Habitat Structure(1st Edition) The physical arrangement of objects in space (Population and Community Biology Series) by Susan S. Bell, Earl D. Mccoy, Henry R. Mushinsky Hardcover, 438 Pages, Published 1990 by Springer ISBN-13: 978-0-412-32270-9, ISBN: 0-412-32270-6
"The first section of the book considers the evolution and development of habitat structure, the effect of habitat on the distribution of species and the relationship between habitat and species-area. The second part considers the colonization and resource use of habitats including that by arboreal, vertebrate and terrestrial communities and sap-feeding herbivores, coral reef fishes and marine benthic systems. The book also examines the ..."
"Tortoises, those unmistakable turtles, evolved from a lineage that split off from the familiar pond turtles roughly 100 million years ago. Over time, these plant-eating land turtles spread around the world, growing to an enormous size (depending on the species) and living so long that they have become the stuff of legends. By most accounts, they are indeed the longest-lived of the turtles, with good records suggesting individuals may li ..."

Habitat Structure(Reprint) The physical arrangement of objects in space: 8 (Population and Community Biology Series) by Susan Belll, Earl D. Mccoy, H.R. Mushinsky Paperback, 438 Pages, Published 2013 by Springer ISBN-13: 978-94-010-5363-1, ISBN: 94-010-5363-4
"We conceived the idea for this book after teaching a graduate seminar on 'Habitat Complexity' at The University of South Florida. Discussions during the seminar led us to conclude that similar goals were to be found in studies of the topic that spanned the breadth of ecological research. Yet, the exact meaning of 'habitat structure', and the way in which it was measured, seemed to differ widely among subdisci ..."
