Metabolic ecology: a scaling approach / Richard M. Sibly (2012)  

Public ISBD Titre : Metabolic ecology: a scaling approach Type de document : livre Auteurs : Richard M. Sibly, Éditeur scientifique ; James H. Brown, Éditeur scientifique ; Astrid Kodric-Brown, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Wiley-Blackwell Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 375 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-470-67152-8 Prix : 74.40 EUR Note générale : This book is accompanied by a companion website: 'www.wiley.com/go/sibly/metabolicecology' Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Metabolism  Ecology Résumé : Most of ecology is about metabolism: the ways that organisms use energy and materials. The energy requirements of individuals - their metabolic rates - vary predictably with their body size and temperature. Ecological interactions are exchanges of energy and materials between organisms and their environments. So metabolic rate affects ecological processes at all levels: individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems. Each chapter focuses on a different process, level of organization, or kind of organism. It lays a conceptual foundation and presents empirical examples. Together, the chapters provide an integrated framework that holds the promise for a unified theory of ecology. The book is intended to be accessible to upper-level undergraduate, and graduate students, but also of interest to senior scientists. Its easy-to-read chapters and clear illustrations can be used in lecture and seminar courses. Together they make for an authoritative treatment that will inspire future generations to study metabolic ecology.
