Description

Elements of Ecology ninth edition continues to explain ecological processes clearly and concisely, with a greater emphasis on the relevance of ecology to everyday life and the human impact on ecosystems. This dramatically revised edition discusses issues of human ecology throughout the text and provides a greater variety of opportunities for students to learn, practise and develop quantitative and analytical skills. Current research examples and other content updates are supported by more than 200 redesigned, full-colour illustrations, graphs and tables.

With Elements of Ecology you can:

Help students interpret and analyse ecology data: New and expanded in-text instruction and practice is provided in ‘Interpreting Ecological Data’ figure questions, in-depth ‘Quantifying Ecology’ boxes, and analysing ‘Ecological Data’ case studies. Many are expanded and assignable in MasteringBiology®.
Keep your course current and relevant while also keeping students focused on learning essential concepts: With updated ‘Field Studies’ and research references throughout, the ninth edition also provides a streamlined discussion on metapopulations and integrates human ecology concepts into all chapters.

Note, MasteringBiology® is NOT included. MasteringBiology® is an online homework, tutorial and assessment product designed to personalise learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging and assignable activities, students are encouraged to learn and retain tough course concepts.
Students: If MasteringBiology® is a recommended or mandatory component of the course, ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. MasteringBiology® should be purchased only when required by an instructor.
