Resource Transitions and Energy Gain: Contexts of Organization

Resource Transitions and Energy Gain: Contexts of Organization

Energy gain constrains resource use, social organization, and landscape organization in human and other living systems. Changes in energy gain have common characteristics across living systems. We describe these commonalities in selected case studies involving imperial taxation, fungus-farming ants,...
