Description:

This volume presents a comprehensive description and analysis of the animal community of the tropical rain forest at El Verde, Puerto Rico. The contributors weave the strands of information about the energy flow within the forest into a tool for understanding community dynamics known as a food web.

Synopsis:

Destruction of tropical rain forests has increased exponentially in recent years, as have efforts to conserve them. However, information essential to these conservation programs - an understanding of the population dynamics of the community at risk - has often been unavailable to the scientists and resource managers who need it most. This volume seeks to fill the gap by presenting a comprehensive description and analysis of the animal community of the tropical rain forest at El Verde, Puerto Rico. Building on more than a decade of field research, the contributors weave the complex strands of information about the energy flow within the forest - who eats whom - into a tool for understanding community dynamics known as a food web.
