Quantitative Viral Ecology - Dynamics Of Viruses And Their Microbial Hosts

de Joshua S. Weitz

91,93€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

portes grátis

 When we think about viruses we tend to consider ones that afflict humans--such as those that cause influenza, HIV, and Ebola. Yet, vastly more viruses infect single-celled microbes. Diverse and abundant, microbes and the viruses that infect them are found in oceans, lakes, plants, soil, and animal-associated microbiomes. Taking a vital look at the

Ecology Of Climate Change - The Importance Of Biotic Interactions

de Eric Post

ESGOTADO OU NÃO DISPONÍVEL

 Rising temperatures are affecting organisms in all of Earth's biomes, but the complexity of ecological responses to climate change has hampered the development of a conceptually unified treatment of them.

Population Ecology Of Individuals

de Adam Lomnicki

105,45€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

portes grátis

 Shows that the overall dynamical behavior of populations must be understood in terms of the behavior of individuals. The author contends that further progress in population ecology requires taking into account individual differences other than sex, age, and taxonomic affiliation - unequal access to resources, for instance.

Modeling Populations Of Adaptive Individuals

de Bret C. Harvey e Steven F. Railsback

ESGOTADO OU NÃO DISPONÍVEL

 Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of be
