Excerpt from A Comparison of the Animal Communities of Coniferous and Deciduous Forests: With 16 Plates and 25 Tables The amount of detailed study given in the past to the community ecology (synecology) of land animals has been much less than that devoted to the ecology of particular species (autecology), a much older branch of the subject. One of the earlier studies in community ecology, from a modern aspect, was that Of Davenport who studied the animal communities of a salt beach. The animal communities Of deciduous forest, throughout developmental stages to the climax, have been described by Shelford (1912, with particular emphasis on succession, and its climax animal community by Adams Adams (1906, 1909) has given accounts of the animal ecology Of northern coniferous forest, and he and his associates (1920) have published the results of an ecological reconnaissance into coniferous forest Of the alpine type.
