"Aquatic Food Webs: an ecosystem approach covers issues of structure, function, scaling, complexity and stability in the contexts of conservation, fisheries and climate. Although the focus of this volume is upon aquatic food webs (where many of the recent advances have been made), any ecologist with an interest in food web theory and its applications will find the issues addressed in this book of value and use. This advanced textbook is suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers in community, ecosystem and theoretical ecology, aquatic ecology and conservation biology."--BOOK JACKET.
