As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on the organisms that dominate freshwater environments. Management and conservation aspects are also considered. The first edition of the book published in 1998 with a second, revised edition in 2005. There has been significant development in the field since the last revision appeared, particularly in the ecology of lakes and ponds in subtropical and tropical areas, and a new revision of this now classic text is timely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the first 2 editions (1998, 2005), this one offers an excellent integration of information on limnology, ecology, evolution, and environmental science and a focus on adaptation of organisms to aquatic environments. In this edition, the authors incorporate new concepts, findings of current research, and discussion of new threats to aquatic biodiversity. * Conservation Biology *\u003cbr\u003eIt does an excellent job at introducing a remarkably wide array of limnological concepts for such a small book. It is very readable and its style will inspire many undergraduate students. * Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: Introduction 2: The abiotic frame and adaptations to cope with abiotic constraints 3: The organisms: the actors within the abiotic frame 4: Biotics: competition, herbivory, predation, parasitism, and symbiosis 5: Food web interactions in freshwater ecosystems 6: Biodiversity and environmental threats","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52083815186775,"sku":"9780198713593","price":107.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198713593.jpg?v=1762203913","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-biology-of-lakes-and-ponds-9780198713593","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
