Ecology: Concepts and Applications was written for students taking their first undergraduate course in ecology. Ecology is an integrative discipline, and thus a foundation in other sciences is important. The authors assume that students in this course have some knowledge of basic chemistry and mathematics, and that they have had a course in general biology that included introductions to physiology, biological diversity, and evolution. The authors had four goals in mind when writing this text: to teach the foundations of ecology using Canadian examples to help students relate to the material, to link the science of ecology to real-world problems, to emphasize the linkage between ecology and evolutionary biology, and to enhance the quantitative understanding of students.
