SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book reflects the profound changes that have taken place in the science of ecology, away from the more classical view of ecological processes taking place within homogenous environments to a recognition that organisms in the real world are clumped into patchy populations and that this heterogeneity has significant effects on ecological processes.
