Leigh, Jr., one of the world's foremost tropical ecologists, introduces readers to the tropical forest and describes the intricate web of interdependence among the great diversity of tropical plants and animals.

Expand description
This book considers three essential questions for understanding the ecology of tropical forests: How do they stay green with their abundance of herbivores? Why do they have such a diversity of plants and animals? And what role does mutualism play in the ecology of tropical forests? Beautifully written and abundantly illustrated, Tropical Forest Ecology will appeal to a wide variety of scientists in the fields of evolution, tropical biology, botany, zoology, and natural history.
