Zusatztext "Both the individual authors and the editor deserve credit for providing a well-balanced general treatise on larval ecology. McEdward's book will hopefully experience wide dispersal?"-Melgoander Meeresunterscuhungen 52-212! 1998 Informationen zum Autor Larry McEdward (University of Florida) (Author) Klappentext This is the first book to provide a detailed treatment of the field of larval ecology. The 13 chapters use state-of-the-art reviews and critiques of nearly all of the major topics in this diverse and rapidly growing field. Topics include: patterns of larval diversityreproductive energeticsspawning ecologylife history theorylarval feeding and nutritionlarval mortalitybehavior and locomotionlarval transportdispersalpopulation geneticsrecruitment dynamicslarval evolutionWritten by the leading new scientists in the field, chapters define the current state of larval ecology and outline the important questions for future research.
