Abstract ‘Island macroecology’ reviews the emergent statistical properties of island biotas. It depicts MacArthur and Wilson’s 1967 equilibrium theory of island biogeography, describing how area and isolation control rates of immigration, extinction, and cladogenesis.

Assembled here for the first time in one volume are forty classic papers that have laid the foundations of modern ecology. Whether by posing new problems, demonstrating important effects, or stimulating new research, these papers have made substantial contributions to an understanding of ecological processes, and they continue to influence the field ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2000
AbstractConsilience means that all fields of human knowledge should be internally consistent. Within the broad span of the ecological and evolutionary sciences, there are many fields that seem only remotely related conceptually. Macroecology has emerged as a research programme that focuses on statistical patterns of ecological and biogeographically ...

Dynamic macroecology and the future for biodiversity
Global Change Biology, 2012AbstractReliable projections of climate‐change impacts on biodiversity are vital in formulating conservation and management strategies that best retain biodiversity into the future. While recent modelling has focussed largely on individual species, macroecology has the potential to add significant value to these efforts, by incorporating important ...

Ecotoxicology and macroecology – Time for integration
Environmental Pollution, 2012Despite considerable progress in ecotoxicology, it has become clear that this discipline cannot answer its central questions, such as, "What are the effects of toxicants on biodiversity?" and "How the ecosystem functions and services are affected by the toxicants?". We argue that if such questions are to be answered, a paradigm shift is needed.

The macroecology of spines on woody plants
Biological ReviewsABSTRACT Spines are a major ecological innovation supporting plant defence and diversification. Spine anatomy is diverse, having arisen in multiple plant lineages from many different plant organs and parts, which may differ in relative advantages across environmental gradients.
