AbstractThe past 15 years have seen the development of macroecology as a respectable discipline within the biological sciences. Initial concerns about the utility of a large‐scale approach to ecology have been quietened, if not eliminated, but other arguments about spatial scale in ecology have arisen to take their place.

Dinosaur Macroevolution and Macroecology
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2018Dinosaurs were large-bodied land animals of the Mesozoic that gave rise to birds. They played a fundamental role in structuring Jurassic–Cretaceous ecosystems and had physiology, growth, and reproductive biology unlike those of extant animals. These features have made them targets of theoretical macroecology.

ABSTRACTAlthough macroecology arose from geographical ecology, it has diverted from a geographical perspective. At present, most macroecological studies use a statistical approach that adopts an ‘individual species focus’ and relies on comparisons between species to test for broad‐scale ecological patterns.

Some Methodological Issues in Macroecology
American Naturalist, 1998Recent years have seen the emergence of "macroecology" as a distinct research program in biology. It is concerned with geographical scale patterns in assemblage structure and, as such, of necessity relies heavily on approaches that are nonexperimental and that depend on the availability of reliable information for large numbers of species.

Science, 2001
The central themes of community ecology—distribution, abundance, and diversity—display strongly marked and very general patterns. These include the log-normal distribution of abundance, the relation between range and abundance, the species-area law, and the turnover of species composition.

The numbers of published macroecological studies are increasing dramatically. Yet, progress within the field of macroecology, and a wider acceptance of its goals and rationale, do not seem to be developing at an equivalent rate. In this paper we examine the criticisms which have been, and can be, made.

Macroecology: The Organizing Forces
Biotechnology Progress, 2006The fundamental problem in ecology is the relationship between organisms and the physical world. This question is approached through the study of ecosystems as wholes. Pristine, autonomous Arctic lakes provide an invaluable starting point for such investigations.
