Studies on animals and plants are integrated throughout, and there are several chapters dealing with topics given little attention in general. Mathematical and laboratory studies are described where necessary, but the major focus of the book is on real ecological systems. Undergraduates with no background experience will find the material accessible, while practising ecologists may also find it of interest. This book is intended for undergraduates, and professionals in the field.

Ecology on CD-ROM is a multimedia complement to the bestselling textbook by the same authors. Each topic is presented as a Tutorial specially adapted from the chapter in the book and assisted by a diverse collection of media: video clips; animations; photographs and graphic artwork; interactive models and access to seminal texts. Browsing and searching is facilitated through the Media Galleries and the searchable glossary that hyperlinks to relevant Tutorial topics.
On the first edition
‘The freshness of approach and the breadth and depth of coverage make most of the opposition seem a rather stale and restricted diet by comparison....All ecology teachers and students would do well to sample this nouvelle cuisine.’ [Nature]
On the second edition
‘It is better than the first edition in dealing with communities and ecosystems, and its treatment of population biology, broadly defined, is superb. Presentation – both prose and graphics – is efficient and clear without being prosaic or simplistic. Remarkably free of dogma, Begon et al. offer the incompleteness of ecology in an explicit and inviting way.
When asked which text they judged best or a sophomore level general ecology course for biology students, Begon et al. was chosen by 8 out of 10.’ [Ecology]
