  • A Theory of Global Biodiversity

    by Boris Worm, Derek P. Tittensor ...
    Series Book 60 - Monographs in Population Biology
    The number of species found at a given point on the planet varies by orders of magnitude, yet large-scale gradients in biodiversity appear to follow some very general patterns. Little mechanistic theory has been formulated to explain the emergence of observed gradients of biodiversity both on land and in the oceans. Based on a comprehensive empirical synthesis of global patterns of species ... Read more

  • Competition and Coexistence

    Edited by Ulrich Sommer, Boris Worm ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The question "Why are there so many species?" has puzzled ecologist for a long time. Initially, an academic question, it has gained practical interest by the recent awareness of global biodiversity loss. Species diversity in local ecosystems has always been discussed in relation to the problem of competi tive exclusion and the apparent contradiction between the competitive exclu sion principle and ...

  • Metacommunity Ecology

    by Mathew A. Leibold, Jonathan M. Chase ...
    Series Book 59 - Monographs in Population Biology
    Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions, selection, and stochasticity—with larger-scale issues such as dispersal and habitat heterogeneity. Until now, the field has focused on evaluating the relative importance of distinct processes, with niche-based environmental ... Read more

  • Climate Change Biology

    by Lee Hannah ...
    Climate change biology is a new discipline, born of the recognition that human-induced climate change is resulting in wholesale shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. The evidence for biological upheaval in response to climate change is immense. Migratory species are arriving earlier in the year. Flowers are blooming earlier. Ranges of plants, mammals and ...

  • Stratigraphic Paleobiology

    Understanding the Distribution of Fossil Taxa in Time and Space

    by Mark E. Patzkowsky, Steven M. Holland ...
    Whether the fossil record should be read at face value or whether it presents a distorted view of the history of life is an argument seemingly as old as many fossils themselves. In the late 1700s, Georges Cuvier argued for a literal interpretation, but in the early 1800s, Charles Lyell's gradualist view of the earth's history required a more nuanced interpretation of that same record. To this day, ... Read more
