Container Habitats and Food Webs

"The animal communities in plant-held water bodies, such as tree holes and pitcher plants, have become models for food-web studies. In this book, Professor Kitching introduces us to these miniature worlds and demonstrates how they can be used to tackle some of the major questions in community ecology. It is an introduction for the field naturalist, and a stimulating source treatment for graduate students and professionals working in the fields of tropical and other forest ecology, as well as entomology."--Jacket.
