Despite claims to the contrary, the science of ecology has a long history of building theories. Many ecological theories are mathematical, computational, or statistical, though, and rarely have attempts been made to organize or extrapolate these models into broader theories. The Theory of Ecology brings together some of the most respected and creative theoretical ecologists of this era to advance a comprehensive, conceptual articulation of ecological theories. The contributors cover a wide range of topics, from ecological niche theory to population dynamic theory to island biogeography theory. Collectively, the chapters ably demonstrate how theory in ecology accounts for observations about the natural world and how models provide predictive understandings. It organizes these models into constitutive domains that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of ecological understanding. This book is a milestone in ecological theory and is certain to motivate future empirical and theoretical work in one of the most exciting and active domains of the life sciences.

"Population explosion, pollution, suburban sprawl, death of the city, the vanishing wilderness we keep hearing of these threats but usually manage to ignore them. ... In this book we find instead a number of clear, calm discussions of environmental problems, providing information and ideas without excessive emotional appeal. ...The 37 papers, chosen from a wide variety of journals, such as Human Biology, Daedalus, Landscape, American Scientist, are obviously intended for the nonspecialist intelligent reader. They are divided into five groups, of which the first deals with population problems, both human and animal. "The Environmental Encounter" is the title of a group of papers discussing man's reaction to his environment, what he sees, and the way he feels about it. Here are included comments on American front yards, the shapes of roofs in different European countries, the importance of sacred places, and an essay by Alan Watts reprinted from The Psychedelic Review. The third and fourth sections are called "Man and Other Organisms" and "Man in Ecosystems." Here we learn about the domestication of cattle, sidelights on evolution, René Dubos' comments on the germ theory, the possible unexpected effects of pesticides and radiation. A hopeful note appears in a discussion of the use of solar energy. The final part, called "Ethos, Ecos, and Ethics," includes more philosophical commentaries. Especially interesting is a discussion by Lynn White of the historical roots of our éecologic crisis."-- from a review by Marjorie C. Meehan in ://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=345416.

This is the first introductory anthology on the philosophy of ecology edited by an ecologist and a philosopher. It illustrates the range of philosophical approaches available to ecologists and provides a basis for understanding the thinking on which many of today's environmental ideas are founded. Collectively, these seminal readings make a powerful statement on the value of ecological knowledge and thinking in alleviating the many problems of modern industrial civilization. Issues covered include: the challenges of defining scientific ecology, tracing its genealogy, and distinguishing the science from various forms of "ecological-like" thinking the ontology of ecological entities and processes selected concepts of community, stability, diversity, and niche the methodology of ecology (rationalism and empiricism, reductionism and holism) the significance of evolutionary law for ecological science

This book is a sustained examination of issues in the philosophy of ecology that have been a source of controversy since the emergence of ecology as an explicit scientific discipline. The controversies revolve around the idea of a balance of nature, the possibility of general ecological knowledge and the role of model-building in ecology. The Science of the Struggle for Existence is also a detailed treatment of these issues that incorporates both a comprehensive investigation of the relevant ecological literature and the development of an explicit theoretical framework in the philosophy of science. It addresses issues in the philosophy of ecology that are of particular importance for the deployment of ecology in the solution of environmental problems. It will have a cross-disciplinary appeal and will interest students and professionals in science, the philosophy of science, and environmental studies as well as policy-makers.

Over the years, the scope of our scientific understanding and technical skills in ecology and environmental science have widened significantly, with increasingly greater emphasis on societal issues. In this book, an attempt has been made to give basic concepts of ecology, environmental science and various aspects of natural resource conservation. The topics covered primarily deal with environmental factors affecting organisms, adaptations, biogeography, ecology of species populations and species interactions, biotic communities and ecosystems, environmental pollution, stresses caused by toxics, global environmental change, exotic species invasion, conservation of biodiversity, ecological restoration, impact assessment, application of remote sensing and geographical information system for analysis and management of natural resources, and approaches of ecological economics. The main issues have been discussed within the framework of sustainability, considering humans as part of ecosystems, and recognising that sustainable development requires integration of ecology with social sciences for policy formulation and implementation.
