The authors discuss at length possible answers to a question and they emphasize that there is probably no single all-embracing explanation of many patterns in ecology and evolution. Thus, each chapter has an open end and certain ideas will require revision or may be rejected outright in the ...
Why do so many species engage in sex? Why do the tropics have so many species? When did humans start to affect world climate? This book provides an introduction to a range of fundamental questions that have taxed evolutionary biologists and ecologists for decades. Some of the phenomena ...

Urban ecology is experiencing the third paradigm shift. To understand the interactions between the social system and the natural system in the city across time and space, and to provide theories and solutions to sustainable urban development are essential tasks for urban ecology in the next decade....

The big-headed turtle (Platysternon megacephalum) from east Asia is the sole living representative of a poorly-studied turtle lineage (Platysternidae). It has no close living relatives, and its phylogenetic position within turtles is one of the outstandi

Macroecology was developed as a big picture statistical approach to the study of ecology and evolution. By focusing on broadly occurring patterns and processes operating at large spatial and temporal scales rather than on localized and/or fine-scaled details, macroecology aims to uncover general mech...
evolution at different levels of analysis and in various aspects. We have formulated a considerable number of general principles and rules of evolution, and worked to develop a common terminology to describe some key processes in biological and social evolution. In particul...
