Titre : A theory of global biodiversity Type de document : livre Auteurs : Boris Worm, Auteur ; Derek P. Tittensor, Auteur Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2018 Collection : Monographs in population biology num. 60 Importance : 214 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-15483-1 Prix : 49.95 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biological diversity Evolution Ecology Biodiversity conservation Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : 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 diversity and their drivers, A Theory of Global Biodiversity develops and applies a new theory that can predict such patterns from few underlying processes.
The authors show that global patterns of biodiversity fall into four consistent categories, according to where species live: on land or in coastal, pelagic, and deep ocean habitats. The fact that most species groups, from bacteria to whales, appear to follow similar biogeographic patterns of richness within these habitats points toward some underlying structuring principles. Based on empirical analyses of environmental correlates across these habitats, the authors combine aspects of neutral, metabolic, and niche theory into one unifying framework. Applying it to model terrestrial and marine realms, the authors demonstrate that a relatively simple theory that incorporates temperature and community size as driving variables is able to explain divergent patterns of species richness at a global scale.
Integrating ecological and evolutionary perspectives, A Theory of Global Biodiversity yields surprising insights into the fundamental mechanisms that shape the distribution of life on our planet.En ligne : https://press.princeton.edu/titles/11347.html A theory of global biodiversity [livre] / Boris Worm, Auteur ; Derek P.

Titre : Ecological forecasting Type de document : livre Auteurs : Michael C. Dietze, Auteur Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 270 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-16057-3 Prix : 65.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Forecasting Ecology Statistical methods Case studies Résumé : Ecologists are being asked to respond to unprecedented environmental challenges. How can they provide the best available scientific information about what will happen in the future? Ecological Forecasting is the first book to bring together the concepts and tools needed to make ecology a more predictive science.
Ecological Forecasting presents a new way of doing ecology. A closer connection between data and models can help us to project our current understanding of ecological processes into new places and times. This accessible and comprehensive book covers a wealth of topics, including Bayesian calibration and the complexities of real-world data; uncertainty quantification, partitioning, propagation, and analysis; feedbacks from models to measurements; state-space models and data fusion; iterative forecasting and the forecast cycle; and decision support.
* Features case studies that highlight the advances and opportunities in forecasting across a range of ecological subdisciplines, such as epidemiology, fisheries, endangered species, biodiversity, and the carbon cycle
* Presents a probabilistic approach to prediction and iteratively updating forecasts based on new data
* Describes statistical and informatics tools for bringing models and data together, with emphasis on:
* Quantifying and partitioning uncertainties :
Dealing with the complexities of real-world data
Feedbacks to identifying data needs, improving models, and decision support
* Numerous hands-on activities in R available onlineEn ligne : https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691160573/ecological-forecasting Ecological forecasting [livre] / Michael C. Dietze, Auteur . - Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press, 2017 . - 270 p.

Titre : Evolutionary community ecology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Mark A. McPeek Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2017 Collection : Monographs in population biology num. 58 Importance : 313 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-08877-8 Prix : 60.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecology Theory Biology Evolution Natural selection Biocoenosis Ecosystems Population dynamics Résumé : "Evolutionary Community Ecology develops a unified framework for understanding the structure of ecological communities and the dynamics of natural selection that shape the evolution of the species inhabiting them. All species engage in interactions with many other species, and these interactions regulate their abundance, define their trajectories of natural selection, and shape their movement decisions. Mark McPeek synthesizes the ecological and evolutionary dynamics generated by species interactions that structure local biological communities and regional metacommunities. McPeek explores the ecological performance characteristics needed for invasibility and coexistence of species in complex networks of species interactions. This species interaction framework is then extended to examine the ecological dynamics of natural selection that drive coevolution of interacting species in these complex interaction networks. The models of natural selection resulting from species interactions are used to evaluate the ecological conditions that foster diversification at multiple trophic levels. Analyses show that diversification depends on the ecological context in which species interactions occur and the types of traits that define the mechanisms of those species interactions. Lastly, looking at the mechanisms of speciation that affect species richness and diversity at various spatial scales and the consequences of past climate change over the Quaternary period, McPeek considers how metacommunity structure is shaped at regional and biogeographic scales. Integrating evolutionary theory into the study of community ecology, Evolutionary Community Ecology provides a new framework for predicting how communities are organized and how they may change over time."
