Population and community ecology of ontogenetic development /
Roos, André M. de, 1961-
Population and community ecology of ontogenetic development / Andre M. de Roos, Lennart Persson. - Princeton : Princeton University Press, ©2013. - 1 online resource (xii, 535 pages) - Monographs in population biology ; 51 . - Monographs in population biology ; 51. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
pt. I. Summary and introduction -- pt. II. Ontogenetic development and community structure -- pt. III. Ontogenetic development and community dynamics -- pt. IV. Extensions and perspectives.
Most organisms show substantial changes in size or morphology after they become independent of their parents and have to find their own food. Furthermore, the rate at which these changes occur generally depends on the amount of food they ingest. In this book, André de Roos and Lennart Persson advance a synthetic and individual-based theory of the effects of this plastic ontogenetic development on the dynamics of populations and communities. De Roos and Persson show how the effects of ontogenetic development on ecological dynamics critically depend on the efficiency with which differe.
