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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Advancing Mangrove Macroecology
2017Mangrove forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services to society, yet they are among the most anthropogenically impacted coastal ecosystems in the world. In this chapter, we discuss and provide examples for how macroecology can advance our understanding of mangrove ecosystems.

This hands-on workshop trains researchers to turn large geographic, trait, and phylogenetic datasets into rigorous, reproducible analyses and publication-quality maps and metrics of biodiversity across space and time using R. Participants will learn practical R workflows for spatial data manipulation, grid-based diversity and phylogenetic metrics ...
