  • A Theory of Global Biodiversity

    de Boris Worm, Derek P. Tittensor ...
    Series Libro 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 ... Leer más

  • Climate Change Biology

    de Lee Hannah ...
