For decades ecologists, physiologists, tropical biologists have been interested in the structure, function and inhabitants of the forest canopy. Unfortunately, for nearly as long, this ecosystem seemed inacessible. Using balloons, ropes, towers and cranes scientists have begun to penetrate this dense foliage, allowing for a detailed account of life in ths world. The editors of this book have synthesized compiled data on canopy dwelling organisms, including insects and other arthropods, lizards, birds and mammmals, and other plants that form and inhabit this aerial ecosystem. This text describes forest canopies: how they are constructed; how they function; what kind of organisms live there and how they influence one another; what sort of processes operate there; and how humans interact, currently and potentially, both as visitors and students of this ecosystem.
