Автор: Группа авторов
Год издания: 0000
This major reference is an overview of the current state of theoretical ecology through a series of topical entries centered on both ecological and statistical themes. Coverage ranges across scales—from the physiological, to populations, landscapes, and ecosystems. Entries provide an introduction to broad fields such as Applied Ecology, Behavioral Ecology, Computational Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology, Epidemiology and Epidemic Modeling, Population Ecology, Spatial Ecology and Statistics in Ecology. Others provide greater specificity and depth, including discussions on the Allee effect, ordinary differential equations, and ecosystem services. Descriptions of modern statistical and modeling approaches and how they contributed to advances in theoretical ecology are also included. Succinct, uncompromising, and authoritative—a «must have» for those interested in the use of theory in the ecological sciences.

Никита Жуков, молодой врач-невролог из Санкт-Петербурга, автор ультрапопулярного проекта «Encyclopatia» (от Encyclopedia pathologicae – патологическая энциклопедия), который посещают более 100 000 человек в день. «Модицина» – это критика традиционных заблуждений, противоречащих науке. Серьезные дядьки – для которых Никита, казалось бы, не авторитет – обсуждают его научно-сатирические статьи на медицинских форумах, критикуют, хвалят и спорят до потери пульса. «Минуту назад вы знали, что такое магифрения?» – encyclopatia.ru. «Эта книга – другая, не очень привычная для нас и совершенно непривычная для медицины форма, продолжающая традиции принципа Питера, закона Мерфи, закона Паркинсона в эпоху интернета», – Зорин Никита Александрович, M. D., психиатр, Ph.D., доцент, член президиума московского отделения Общества специалистов доказательной медицины (ОСДМ). В формате pdf A4 сохранен издательский дизайн.
