It provides students with a solid understanding of core ecological concepts and equips them with the tools to analyze and interpret real data. This second edition of the textbook has been fully updated throughout, including two chapters devoted to climate change ecology and extensive coverage of disease ecology. It emphasizes the linkage between observations, ideas, questions, hypotheses, predictions, results, and conclusions and includes summary sections that describe the development and evolution of research programs in each of ecology's core areas. Integrated discussion questions and end-of-chapter questions encourage active learning and are supported by online resources, including tutorials that teach students to use the R programming language for statistical analyses of data presented in the text.
