Description :
The Canadian Edition of Molles, Ecology: Concepts and Applications helps Canadian students succeed in the course by clearly presenting the main concepts of ecology and offering multiple opportunities for application and review. Fully integrated Canadian content makes the material relevant to students' lives and highlights the contributions of Canada-based researchers.

• NEW! Statistical methods have been consolidated and expanded into a single appendix, rather than a piece-meal treatment scattered throughout the text. Statistics are both critical to the science of ecology, and often a hindrance to teaching ecology to reluctant students. The statistics appendix is now written in a very friendly tone, describing the most common statistics used in ecology.
  

• The goal of this book is to build a foundation of ecological knowledge around key concepts. Each chapter is organized around two to five major concepts, presenting the student with a manageable synthesis of the subject. Each concept is supported by case-studies and real research results that introduce students to the methods and people that have created the discipline of ecology.
  
• A unique art program offers explanatory notes within illustrations, helping students where they need it most.
  
• Ecology-in-Action boxes (now in every chapter) and Ecological Tools sections offer a real-life view of ecological issues and research methods.
