An excellent edited volume that provides a useful synthesis of knowledge in the field and clear guidance for future research goals. The book is not an exhaustive review of the field, but it is more readable because it is focused on a limited number of specific problems... [It] is concise and coherent enough so that readers will want to read the entire volume. --Timothy P. Craig, Ecology A useful and interesting book. --Donald H. Feener, Jr.,The Quarterly Review of Biology
