Beschreibung:
Boris Worm is Killam Professor of Biology at Dalhousie University. Derek P. Tittensor is adjunct professor of biology at Dalhousie University and senior marine biodiversity scientist at the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre.
"I have been awaiting such a book for a long time. Worm and Tittensor combine three leading theoretical perspectives in ecology--neutral theory, metabolic theory, and niche theory--into a single, elegantly simple model to explain global patterns of species richness on land and in the sea. Their theory is novel, often surprising, and important in its implications for the future of biodiversity on Earth."--Stephen P. Hubbell, University of California, Los Angeles, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
