Animal ecology

Materials an Pflanzen und Thieren; nebst Anhang. Fünfter Ber. der Komm.
zur wissensch. Untersuch. d. deutschen Meere in Kiel für die Jahre
1882 bis 1886, pp. 1-107, III-XVIII, Berlin.
This appears to be the original account of quantitative studies as
applied to plants and animals of an association. These methods have
been extended to the sea bottom by Petersen, to fresh water by many
students, to land animals mainly by Dahl, and in recent years to plants
by Clements and others.
