Written for students who are taking their first undergraduate course in ecology, Molles 5th Canadian Edition has organized each chapter around two to six major concepts, presenting the student with a manageable and meaningful synthesis of the subject. Each concept is accompanied by case studies and research results reinforcing central concepts that are discussed. Through this approach students are introduced to the research methods used in the various areas of ecology, with a strong focus on a scientific approach to understanding ecological principles.
