Table of ContentsPrologue 1: Introductory remarks on perturbations, cognition, dispersal, sociality and non-linear population dynamics 2: The case of Audouin's gulls at Punta de la Banya 3: Population dynamics of social species under perturbations 4: Runaway dispersal in social species 5: Evolution of sociality and non-linear population dynamics 6: Extinction, non-linear dynamics and sociality 7: Conclusions and prospects EpilogueReviewsOro brings new insights on the importance of behavior for population processes. More importantly, he illustrates, using both empirical examples and simulations, how behavioral feedback in social species may lead to different population trajectories resulting from nonlinear responses in population dynamics . . . the book should be a fascinating read for graduate students and researchers interested in linking behavior and population dynamics and brings an intriguing perspective on the importance of social behavior for forecasting the fate of wild populations facing global changes. * Fanie Pelletier, University of Sherbrooke, Canada, The Quarterly Review of Biology * Author InformationDaniel Oro is Professor of Research at CSIC, the largest research body in Spain. He founded the Population Ecology Group to attract researchers interested in quantitative ecology, evolution and conservation of threatened species. He is now a member of the Theoretical and Computational Ecology Laboratory at CEAB. For the past thirty years, he has used long-term data to study animal demography to unravel the processes driving the complex population dynamics of a range of species, from butterflies and fat dormouses to seabirds and dolphins.
