KlappentextIn an age of increasing environmental problems, ecology has had to grow up fast from a discipline dealing with relatively simple interactions between species to one that tries to explain changes in global patterns of diversity and richness.
ZusammenfassungThis book navigates the extreme complexity of modern ecology by analyzing small niches then zooming out for a global perspective. In its search for unified ecological theories, it gleans from our globe's past to glimpse the troubled future.
