520 _aThis book takes a fresh approach to some of the classic questions in ecology. What determines where a species lives? And what determines its abundance? Topics covered include population regulation, density-dependence, the ecological niche, resource and interference competition, habitat fragmentation and the ecological effects of environmental stress.
