Eric- nope, not really.
For an introduction to tropical ecology (neotropics, especially), the
following work well (and also double as field guides):
A Neotropical Companion (Kricher)
Tropical Nature (Forsyth and Miyata)
There is also a "Foundations of Tropical Ecology" edited volume, but that
might be too much for students who have never taken tropical ecology.
All these books are good, but are not textbooks... Usually I use the first
two books, along with several articles.

I am wondering if there are any good textbooks out there for a 'Tropical =
Ecology' course. It will probably be an upper division undergraduate =
course. Any suggestions? Thanks.
