Arthropods of Tropical Forests : Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Resource Use in the Canopy
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a solid contribution to what we know about the spatial and temporal distribution of tropical arthropods.' Ecology
'Overall this well edited and coherent volume contributes much to what we know about the spatial and temporal distribution of canopy arthropods in tropical forests.' Nigel Rainer, Queen Mary's College, University of London
'Overall this well edited and coherent volume contributes much to what we know about the spatial and temporal distribution of canopy arthropods in tropical forests. The contributed chapters provide food for though with an interesting melting pot of ideas and new perspectives on many of these.' Animal Conservation
Book Description
Arthropods are the most diverse group of organisms on our planet, and the tropical rainforests represent the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems. This volume provides an overview of data collected during recent studies in Australia, Africa, Asia, and South America. The contributions focus on the distribution of arthropods and their use of resources in the rainforest canopies, providing a basis for comparison between the forest ecosystems of the main biogeographical regions. The temporal dynamics of arthropod communities, habitats and food selection are examined within and among tropical tree crowns, as are the effects of forest disturbance.
