Marine ecosystems are ecosystems found in the oceans and seas. This book on marine ecosystems studies new research trends with regard to this field. The marine ecosystem is the largest ecosystem of the planet and can be sub-classified into rocky shores, submarine canyons, cold seeps, etc. Research and study into the composition of ecosystems and their processes plays a key role in conservation and in upholding biodiversity on Earth. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics in the field of marine ecosystems.

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
