Ecological Methods

T. R. E. Southwood and P. A. Henderson

This classic text, whose first edition one reviewer referred to as "the ecologist's bible", has been substantially revised and rewritten. Not only have the advances made in the field since the second edition been taken into account, but also the scope has been explicitly extended to all macroscopic animals, with particular attention being paid to fish as well as other vertebrates.

Ecological methods provides a unique synthesis of the methods and techniques available for the study of populations and ecosystems. Techniques used to obtain both absolute and relative population estimates are described, and approaches to the direct measurement of births, deaths, migration and the construction and interpretation of life tables are reviewed.
