Food Webs and Container Habitats: The Natural History and Ecology of Phytotelmata

Description:

Animal communities in plant-held water bodies, such as tree-holes and pitcher plants, have become models for food-web studies. This book introduces the reader to these fascinating miniature worlds and demonstrates how they can be used to tackle some of the major questions in community ecology. Covers many aspects of the theory of food-web formation and maintenance presented with field-collected information on tree-holes, bromeliads, pitcher plants, bamboo containers and the axils of fleshy plants
