Ecology and Tropical Biology is the first comprehensive ecology textbook for university students interested in tropical ecology and those interested in ecological issues in developing countries.Useful as a text and reference in tropical as well as temperate countries, Ecology and Tropical Biology includes discussions of all major ecological concepts (illustrated primarily with examples from the topics). Throughout the book, the author identifies and describes differences between features of tropical and extratropical (mainly temperate) ecology. Some of these diifferences have gained the status of "convential wisdoms". The book also provides an ecological view of the environmental effects of rapid cultural changes in tropical developing countries. Examples of "pure" and "applied" ecology are taken from the whole tropical terrestrial zone including Africa, the Americas, southern Asia, Oceania, and northern Australia. Part One deals with basic ecology, but, unlike other texts covering similar ground, assesses the state of knowledge in tropical ecology and makes clear comparisons with the temperate zone. Part Two examines human ecology and draws heavily from the conceptual and descriptive information presented in the preceding chapters.

Salamanders are relevant components of many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, despite the importance of salamanders in many resource–consumer networks, their functional role remains remarkably understudied. Therefore, this volume, entitled The Ecological Role of Salamanders as Prey and Predators, provides an opportunity for researchers to highlight the new research on the ecological role of salamanders and newts in prey–predator systems, their trophic behavior, and the variability of their trophic niche in space and time. Various innovative methods, such as COI metabarcoding and network analysis, are applied in the present study to test both the classical and new hypotheses concerning the trophic ecology of salamanders and their interactions with their prey. The present volume is composed of one review and seven research papers, all of which are published after undergoing a complete and impartial peer-review process.
