This concise and comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and ponds) combines traditional limnology with current ecological and evolutionary theory. Its lucid explanations and descriptions of adaptation, dominance, dispersal and succession of organisms, as well as the effects of abiotic factors, predation and competition, ensure its continued relevance and use to a broad audience of biologists and naturalists with an interest in freshwater ecology. This new edition has been significantly revised throughout, with expanded coverage of organism interactions and recent advances in the borderland between evolutionary processes and aquatic ecology. More examples from subtropical and tropical systems have been included. Although the emphasis is on the organisms that dominate freshwater environments, this new edition also considers, in greater depth, the human impact on freshwater systems, including novel threats and global change, as well as possibilities for management, conservation and restoration of lakes and ponds.
The Biology of Lakes and Ponds is an accessible text suitable for both senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in aquatic or freshwater ecology as well as the many professional ecologists and conservation biologists requiring a concise, authoritative overview of the topic.
