Biotic interactions in the Tropics : their role in the maintenance of species diversity / edited by David F.R.P. Burslem, Michelle A. Pinard, Sue E. Hartley.

"Tropical ecosystems house a significant proportion of global biodiversity. To understand how these ecosystems function, we need to appreciate not only what plants, animals and microbes they contain, but also how these different organisms interact with each other. This volume synthesizes the current...

To understand how these ecosystems function, we need to appreciate not only what plants, animals and microbes they contain, but also how these different organisms interact with each other. This volume synthesizes the current state of knowledge in this area, with chapters providing reviews or case studies drawn from research conducted in both Old and New World Tropics and including biotic interactions among taxa at all trophic levels. In most chapters plants (typically trees) are the starting point, but, taken together, the chapters consider interactions of plants with other plants, with micro-organisms and with animals, and the inter-relationships of human-induced disturbance with interactions among species. An underlying theme of the volume is the attempt to understanding the maintenance of high diversity in tropical regions, which remains one of the most significant unexplained observations in ecological studies."--BOOK JACKET.
