The Geometry of Ecological Interactions cover

Provides introduction to exciting new areas of spatial ecological theory, simplifying spatial complexity.

In this exciting new volume detailing the latest developments in spatial ecological theory, innovative methods of simplifying spatial complexity are put forward. This book is for all those interested in theoretical or evolutionary biology and applied mathematics.The field of theoretical ecology has expanded dramatically in the last few years. This volume gives detailed coverage of the main developing areas in spatial ecological theory, and is written by world experts in the field. Integrating the perspective from field ecology with novel methods for simplifying spatial complexity, it offers a didactical treatment with a gradual increase in mathematical sophistication from beginning to end. In addition, the volume features introductions to those fundamental phenomena in spatial ecology where emerging spatial patterns influence ecological outcomes quantitatively. An appreciation of the consequences of this is required if ecological theory is to move on in the 21st century. Written for reseachers and graduate students in theoretical, evolutionary and spatial ecology, applied mathematics and spatial statistics, it will be seen as a ground breaking treatment of modern spatial ecological theory.
