Media reviews
Cappuccino and Price have brought together contributions that demonstrate a renaissance of population dynamics studies in the last decade. --Michael W. Palmer, Oklahoma State University, in ECOLOGY "The editors have done an excellent job in assembling authors with fresh ideas and insightful perspectives. The chapters are remarkably good, and the book would be excellent for graduate student seminars, with each chapter providing ample material for discussion." --TRENDS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION
