Population and Community Ecology of Ontogenetic Development / / Lennart Persson, André M. de Roos.
Most organisms show substantial changes in size or morphology after they become independent of their parents and have to find their own food. Furthermore, the rate at which these changes occur generally depends on the amount of food they ingest. In this book, André de Roos and Lennart Persson advanc...
