Douglass H. Morse is Hermon Carey Bumpus Professor of Biology, Brown University.
Morse, I believe, is the first in two decades to have provided an
integrated treatment of the ecological problems of interest to
ethologists which at the same time meets the criteria of scholarly
thoroughness and accuracy... An essential volume for ecologists! --
P. H. Klopfer * Ecology *
This synthesis and integration of behavioral ecology into a unified
framework will, in my opinion, prove extremely valuable to many
evolutionary and ecologically oriented biologists, as well as to
any serious student of animal biology. The clear, uncomplicated
style of the writing will assure its accessibility to any educated
reader. -- Richard T. Holmes, Dartmouth College
