It provides the student with basic concepts ofecology and limnology specifically for the aquatic ecologist. It covers currentinformation and exposes students to this ecosystem's complexity."--PeterAmbrose, Columbia-Greene Community College, "A refreshing approach to limnology, one which hybridizes important ideas in limnology with ecology. The organization is logical, writing clear, and references up-to-date."--John E. Havel, Southwest Missouri State University, "This text is quite well-documented and clearly written. The sequence of content flows well for instruction of upper-division students. I highly recommend it for any upper-division or graduate class in limnology."--Brian E. Rood, Mercer University, "This is the limnology textbook I have been waiting for. Putting limnological studies in the context of evolutionary ecology provides a rich explanatory framework."--Dann Siems, Bemidji State University, "A very 'needed' book.

Synopsis
A translation of the leading German textbook in limnology published by Thieme in 1993. The book has been updated and many North American examples have been included along with new end-of-chapter problems. It emphasizes the ecological aspects of the subject and presents a strong evolutionary thread., Limnoecology: The Ecology of Lakes and Streams is an accessible text which places limnology, the science of investigating the structure and function of inland waters, in the context of modern ecology. It presents several new developments in ecology and emphasizes evolutionary ecology. Unlike most ecology textbooks, which use examples taken almost exclusively from terrestrial systems, this book focuses on the relationship between limnology and ecology by presenting empirical data drawn entirely from limnology in order to advance more general ecological theories. All the experimental and observational examples are drawn from the same set of organisms of inland waters and their ecosystems. This unique text covers all the key issues of limnology, while its structure and underlying concepts conform to ecology, making it equally useful in both fields. The authors begin with chapters on the link between ecology and evolution and on the methodology of ecological research, then continue on with an introduction to the physical and chemical properties of freshwater habitats. Subsequent chapters follow the classical hierarchical sequence of ecology from simpler to more complex levels of organization: individuals - populations - interactions between populations - communities - ecosystems. Featuring recent research results and examples from a variety of international sources, Limnoecology serves as an ideal undergraduate text for courses in limnology, ecology, and aquatic biology.
