内容説明

The first section of the book considers the evolution and development of habitat structure, the effect of habitat on the distribution of species and the relationship between habitat and species-area. The second part considers the colonization and resource use of habitats including that by arboreal, vertebrate and terrestrial communities and sap-feeding herbivores, coral reef fishes and marine benthic systems. The book also examines the effect that changes in habitat structure have on species. The third section considers the response of species to predation, parasitism and disturbance of their habitat, for example the effect of fire on habitat structure and the effect of habitat stability on species diversity. Finally the authors consider the possible applications of the studies contained in the book, such as the use of this information in the design of nature reserves, greenspace planning and the design of artificial reefs.
