Second Editioni-A popular college text, this book gives the student a clear picture of the interrelationships operating amonig plants. animals, microorganisms and his fellow man. It explains 'what nature "does" as vell as how she "looks."' Presentinig a well balanced synthesis of the entire field of ecology, the textbook combines the funtctional and the descriptive, the aquatic and terrestrial,...

The endemic and seasonal nature of cholera depends upon the survival of Vibrio cholerae 01 in a viable but not necessarily culturable state in ecologic niches in aquatic environments during interepidemic periods. To understand the ecology of V. cholerae it is necessary to know which aquatic ecosystems can harbor it and thus contribute to the endemic presence of cholera in Latin America. This ar...

Knowledge of animal spatial ecology is essential for the design and siting of proposed aquatic protected areas (APAs), as well as the assessment and monitoring of existing ones. Acoustic telemetry is one of the primary tools for the assessment of animal movements in aquatic systems through either manual tracking or the establishment of fixed receiving stations. Recent technological developments...

In the course of the 20th century limnology and oceanography have been transformed from purely descriptive disciplines to sciences that champion quantitative approaches and aim to reveal mechanistic relationships. In particular, the increasing use of mathematical formulations and models to understand lakes, streams and oceans as dynamical systems can be viewed as a paradigm shift. The mathemati...
