From mating to parenting, foraging to self-defense, plant and animal activities are accomplished by the secretion or exchange of organic chemicals. This book introduces the science that encompasses these diverse phenomena. It talks about the organisms that steal, counterfeit, or interpret the chemical signals of other species for their own ends.

Plants and animals interact with each other and their surroundings, and these interactions--with all their complexity and contingency--control where species can survive and reproduce. In this comprehensive and groundbreaking introduction to the emerging field of ecological mechanics, Mark Denny explains how the principles of physics and engineering

Evolutionary Community Ecology develops a unified framework for understanding the structure of ecological communities and the dynamics of natural selection that shape the evolution of the species inhabiting them. All species engage in interactions with many other species, and these interactions regulate their abundance, define their trajectories of
