The implications of these human impacts on the sustainability and functioning of these amazingly complex entities remains uncertain. As a result, food web theory has experienced a proliferation of research that seeks to address this critical area. This book synthesizes modern and classical results into a general theory. Finally, this book takes this general theoretical framework and discusses the implications of human impact for the stability and sustainability of ecological systems"--. -- ISBN : 9781400840687 (online ; pdf). -- 1400840686. -- 9780691134178. -- 0691134170. -- 9780691134185. -- 0691134189.
