Charles Krebs' book, "Ecology: The Experimental Analysis of Distribution and Abundance, 6th Edition", approaches ecology as a series of problems best understood through empirical evidence evaluation with data analysis and the application of quantitative thinking. No other book presents analytical, quantitative, and statistical ecological information in such an accessible way for students.

The new edition emphasizes the role of experiments in testing ecological ideas and discusses many contemporary and controversial challenges related to distribution and abundance. It incorporates clear writing, a historical perspective, and emphasis on data analysis with an updated, reorganized discussion of key topics and two new chapters on climate change and animal behavior.

Key concepts and terms are included at the beginning of each chapter to help students focus on the most important points. Quantitative analyses are broken down step-by-step in a new section titled "Working with the Data," concepts are reinforced with literature examples, and questions and problems at the end of each chapter highlight application.
