There is increasing evidence that the structure and functioning of ecological communities and ecosystems are strongly influenced by flexible traits of individuals within species. A deep understanding of how trait flexibility alters direct and indirect species interactions is crucial for addressing key issues in basic and applied ecology. This book provides an integrated perspective on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of interactions mediated by flexible species traits across a wide range of systems. It is the first volume synthesizing the rapidly expanding research field of trait-mediated indirect effects and highlights how the conceptual framework of these effects can aid the ... Read more

About Takayuki Ohgushi (Ed.)
Takayuki Ohgushi is a Professor at the Center for Ecological Research at Kyoto University. His research focus is on population biology of insect herbivores, plant-herbivore interactions, multi-trophic interactions and the linkage from gene to ecosystem. In particular, he is interested in how trait-mediated indirect effects create ecological communities and biodiversity. Oswald Schmitz is the Oastler Professor of Population and Community ...
