This is a must-read for ecologists interested in species interactions in the tropics, providing approaches not found elsewhere
This is a very concise book in terms of selection of concepts and empirical examples on how the architecture of the biodiversity is organized in the tropics
Despite of high diversity of species and interactions in tropical environments, there is no equivalent book that reviews ecological networks in these environments
Based on graph theory studies this book seeks to understand how tropical species interact with each other and how these interactions are affected by perturbations in some of the most species-rich habitats on earth. Due to the great diversity of species and interactions in the tropics, this book addresses a wide range of current and future issues with empirical examples and complete revisions on different types of ecological networks: from mutualisms to antagonisms. The goal of this publication is not to be only for researchers but also for undergraduates in different areas of knowledge, and also to serve as a reference text for graduate-level courses mainly in the life sciences.
