He received his B.S. fromHumboldt State University and his Ph.D. from the Department of Ecology andEvolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. Seeking to broaden his geo-graphic perspective， he has taught and conducted ecological research in LatinAmerica， the Caribbean， and Europe. He was awarded a Fulbright ResearchFellowship to conduct research on fiver ecology in Portugal and has held visitingprofessor appointments in the Department of Zoology at the University of Coim-bra， Portugal， in the Laboratory of Hydrology at the Polytechnic University ofMadrid， Spain， and at the University of Montana's Flathead Lake BiologicalStation. Originally trained as a marine ecologist and fisheries biologist， the author hasworked mainly on river and riparian ecology at the University of New Mexico. Hisresearch has covered a wide range of ecological levels， including behavioral ecol-ogy， population biology， community ecology， ecosystem ecology， biogeographyof stream insects， and the influence of a large-scale climate system （El Nifio） on the dynamicsof southwestern river and riparian ecosystems. His current research concerns the influence ofclimate change and climatic variability on the dynamics of populations and communities alongsteep gradients of temperature and moisture in the mountains of the Southwest. Throughout hiscareer， Dr. Molles has attempted to combine research， teaching， and service， involving under-graduate as well as graduate students in his ongoing projects. At the University of NewMexico， he has taught a broad range of lower division， upper division， and graduate courses，including Principles of Biology， Evolution and Ecology， Stream Ecology， Limnology andOceanography， Marine Biology， and Community and Ecosystem Ecology. He has taughtcourses in Global Change and River Ecology at the University of Coimbra， Portugal， and Gen-eral Ecology and Groundwater and Riparian Ecology at the Flathead Lake Biological Station.Dr. Manuel Molles was named Teacher of the Year by the University of New Mexico for1995-96 and Potter Chair in Plant Ecology in 2000. 【目录】: 1 Introduction to Ecology: Historical Foundations and Developing Frontiers Section1 Natural History and Evolution 2 Life on Land 9 3 Life in Water 40 4 Population Genetics and Natural Selection 70

New concepts presented include the principle ofallocation， apparent competition， indirect mutualism， andthe ecology of fear. The treatment of nutrient cycling has been improved.The nutrient cycling presentation now appears under itsown umbrella concept and is buttressed by the addition ofcentral concepts， including nutrient sinks， sources， fluxes，and pools， which are critical for understanding contemporaryissues related to the buildup of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Lessons learned through the Investigating the Evi-dence boxes enrich the graphical presentation. Confidenceintervals and standard error bars are added to selected graphsonce the statistical concepts are introduced in section IV. New supplementary materials have been placedonline. Suggested readings， answers to Concept Reviewquesti ns， and answers to Critiquing the Evidence questionsare now online. In addition， examples cut from the fourth edi-tion are also available online. New chapter opener photos， related to chapter content，have been added to enrich the visual presentation of ecology.Organized Around Key ConceptsAn evolutionary perspective forms the foundation of the entiretextbook， as it is needed to support understanding of major con-cepts. The textbook begins with a brief introduction to thenature and history of the discipline of ecology， followed by sec-tion， I， which includes two chapters on natural history——life onland and life in water and a chapter on population genetics andnatural selection. Sections II through VI build a hierarchicalperspective through the traditional subdisciplines of ecology：section II concerns adaptations to the environment; section IIIfocuses on population eclogy; section IV presents the ecologyof interactions; section V summarizes community and ecosys-tem ecology; and finally， section VI discusses large-scaleecology and includes chapters on landscape， geographic， andglobal ecology. These topics were first introduced in section Iwithin a natural history context. In summary， the book beginswith the natural history of the planet， considers potions of thewhole in the middle chapters， and ends with another perspec-tive of the entire planet in the concluding chapter.
