A theory of global biodiversity / Boris Worm (2018)  

Public ISBD 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.

Evolutionary community ecology / Mark A. McPeek (2017)  

Public ISBD 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."

The theory of ecological communities / Mark Vellend (2016)

Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2016 Collection : Monographs in population biology num. 57 Importance : 229 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-16484-7 Prix : 49.95 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecosystems  Community ecology  Biology  Evolution  Biodiversity  Theory Note de contenu : La 4ème de couverture indique : "A plethora of different theories, models, and concepts make up the field of community ecology. Amid this vast body of work, is it possible to build one general theory of ecological communities? What other scientific areas might serve as a guiding framework? As it turns out, the core focus of community ecology—understanding patterns of diversity and composition of biological variants across space and time—is shared by evolutionary biology and its very coherent conceptual framework, population genetics theory. The Theory of Ecological Communities takes this as a starting point to pull together community ecology's various perspectives into a more unified whole. Mark Vellend builds a theory of ecological communities based on four overarching processes: selection among species, drift, dispersal, and speciation. These are analogues of the four central processes in population genetics theory—selection within species, drift, gene flow, and mutation—and together they subsume almost all of the many dozens of more specific models built to describe the dynamics of communities of interacting species. The result is a theory that allows the effects of many low-level processes, such as competition, facilitation, predation, disturbance, stress, succession, colonization, and local extinction to be understood as the underpinnings of high-level processes with widely applicable consequences for ecological communities. Reframing the numerous existing ideas in community ecology, The Theory of Ecological Communities provides a new way for thinking about biological composition and diversity."
