SynopsisOne of the most important and most difficult problems posed by academic ecologists is the relationship between the complexity of interconnections in a "food web" and the degree to which a given community can either resist invasions by members of nearby communities or can recover from the various indignities imposed by climate or man. Analysis of that problem is the essence of Robert May's book. While opposing the contention that complexity by itself increases stability, he examines also those biological details that could conceivably account for the marked stability of complex ecological systems., The description for this book, Stability and Complexity in Model Ecosystems. (MPB-6), will be forthcoming.
