„Budding ecologists will be enthused by possibilities amongst thewealth of empirical studies that Rockwood draws on to inform ourconceptual understanding of population ecology... This is amost satisfyingly accessible study guide for all students with aserious commitment to population ecology, and an essentialreference for any researchers and teachers interested in theinteractions of populations with their environments.“Environmental Conservation
"This is refreshing because so many population biology booksseem content to dwell upon the mathematical satisfaction that canbe derived from elegant models. Some of Rockwell's chapters, suchas the one on metapopulations, send the reader to a selection ofcase studies illustrating the application of a particular conceptor model. This enables the student to compare theory with actualityand thereby assess the theory more critically. In this respect, itis truly a text of population ecology rather than just populationbiology.„ Bulletin of the British Ecological Society
