Debatable Points of Animal Ecology

Abstract

THE science of animal ecology is young, but is rapidly developing, and it is not surprising that its high rate of growth often leads to the formulation of theories, which, on mature consideration, appear to have their foundation not so much on facts, as in the wish to discover harmony and logic in all phenomena of life. It is refreshing, therefore, to see a book such as the present collection of six essays by Prof. Bodenheimer, who sets out to discuss without prejudice several of the outstanding problems of animal ecology.
