Product Description

Review


"[Roughgarden's] careful effort to bring all the observations and experiments together to answer the questions is refreshing. Every step of the way there is a crystal-clear logical development with succinct prose." --Science
"Roughgarden describes the foraging energetics, behavious, evolution, and biogeography of Caribbean island Anolis lizards. [He] has combines expertise in theoretical modeling with his extensive field experience to produce this unique, scholarly contribution to the biology of a diverse saurian genus."--Choice
"After decades of fruitful research in the Caribbean, especially on the lizard genus Anolis, Roughgarden is undeniably one of the world's foremost authorities on the topic." --Copeia
"Roughgarden, a recognized leader in the field of theoretical ecology, has apparently taken the next logical step in education, that of lucidly providing the theoretical basis of ecological theory, along with the software to examine the consequences and predictions der

Product Description

The author of this treatise uses the Anolis lizard to demonstrate the concept of ecology models - how ecological context supplies the natural selection that drives evolution and how evolutionary change among species in turn affects their ecological station. There are more than 150 species of Anolis lizard dispersed over the islands of the Caribbean, providing innumerable comparisons of physical form and behavior. Roughgarden synthesizes two decades of research and points to new directions in modelling and field biology.

Very technical work indeed 27 May 2009
By Breck Breckenridge - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A full one-half of the book is devoted to a highly technical, theoretical approach to predicting the ecological behavior in these anoles in the Lesser Antilles. Mathematical formulae and computer language are used. A very technical, biological treatise involving some (much) sophisticated understanding of the subject and subject area. This is not a book for the general public and for the hobbyist herpetoculturist.
