An exploration of Earth's natural systems discusses how they influence each other, what happens when the system gets out of sync, and whether lifeforms can communicate across species boundaries.
Wohlleben takes readers on a thought-provoking exploration of the vast natural systems that make life on Earth possible. The author describes the interplay between animals and plants and answers such questions as: How do they influence each other? Do lifeforms communicate across…
"Mathematical Models of Plant-Herbivore Interactions addresses mathematical models in the study of practical questions in ecology, particularly factors that affect herbivory, including plant defense, herbivore natural enemies, and adaptive herbivory, as well as the effects of th…
