The Ecology Of Fishes On Coral Reefs
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the ecology of coral reef fishes presented by top researchers from North America and Australia. Immense strides have been made over the past twenty years in our understanding of ecological systems in general and of reef fish ecology in particular. Many of the methodologies that reef fish ecologists use in their studies will be useful to a wider audience of ecologists for the design of their ecological studies. Significant among the impacts of the research on reef fish ecology are the development of nonequilibrium models of community organization, more emphasis on the role of recruitment variability in structuring local assemblages, the development and testing of evolutionary models of social organization and reproductive biology, and new insights into predator-prey and plant-herbivore interactions.

I needed to quickly learn more about coral reef fish ecology and behavior and this book has been a great help. It covers the basics, trophic ecology, larval and juvenile ecology, reproductive and life history patterns, community organization, and fisheries and management. I can only recommend it!

This book was a good choice and it will be very useful. I recommend for all customers interested by coral reefs

It's fine

I do not know if this is the right place to say that up to now the book has not yet arrived.Others two books bought with the same order are arrived in less than 2 weeks. This is about one month.
