Brown proposes a radical new research agenda designed to broaden the scope of ecology to encompass vast geographical areas and very long time spans. While much ecological research is narrowly focused and experimental, providing detailed information that cannot be used to generalize from one ecological community or time period to another,4/5.

Macroecology: Concepts and Consequences brings together for the first Macroecology book major researchers in the field to present overviews of current thinking about the form and determinants of Format: Paperback. Macroecology is an expanding and dynamic discipline.

The broad aim of the book is to promote an understanding of why it is such an important part of the wider program of research into ecology. Summarises the current macroecological literature. Provides numerous examples of. Macroecology is the subfield of ecology that deals with the study of relationships between organisms and their environment at large spatial scales to characterise and explain statistical patterns of abundance, distribution and diversity.

The term was coined by James Brown of the University of New Mexico and Brian Maurer of Michigan State University in a paper in Science.

This book is a wonderful tour de force introduction to marine macroecology through environments and across taxa. It is aimed at students and established ecologists, and it should strongly remind us that small-scale experimental ecology is not the only way to do sound ecological science.” — Martin Zuschin, University of Vienna.

Kerr. In search of general models in evolutionary time and space. Journal of Biogeography   3. Breaking down barriers. Traditionally, macroecology focused on processes operating at large scales (e.g. climatic and phylogenetic), largely ignoring the potential for small-scale processes to generate a coherent signal in macroecological patterns [].One reason is the deficit of fine-grained (e.g.

population-level) datasets that are replicated over large spatial extent []: national Cited by: After developing macroecology\'s conceptual rationale, the book reflects a logical progression of data (primarily on mammals and birds, e.g., associations between local abundance and geographic distribution; patterns in body size, density, and energetics), mechanisms, hypothesis formulation, and a synthesis exploring the implications of.

This approach embeds macroecology-the study of organism-environment relationships at large spatial and temporal scales (Brown & Maurer, ;Heffernan et al., ; Keith et al., ), within a. Print book: EnglishView all editions and formats Summary: This work demonstrates the advantages of macroecology for conservation, showing how it allows scientists to look beyond endangered species and ecological communities in order to consider the long history and large geographic scale of.

Macroecology is an approach to science that emphasizes the description and explanation of patterns and processes at large spatial and temporal scales. Some scientists liken it to seeing the forest through the trees, giving the proverbial phrase an ecological twist. The term itself was first introduced to the modern literature by James H.

Gittleman, Dean of the Odum School of Ecology and UGA Foundation Professor in Ecology, is the co-editor of a new textbook, "Foundations of Macroecology," published by the University of Chicago Press as part of its Foundations series.

Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate integrates terrestrial and marine research in a cross-disciplinary research program. We address fundamental questions on the origin, maintenance, conservation and future of biological diversity on Earth.

New version: SAM v! SAM (Spatial Analysis in Macroecology) is a program designed as a package of tools for spatial statistical analysis, mainly for applications in Surface Pattern Spatial is mostly used in the fields of Macroecology and Biogeography, but also in Conservation Biology, Community and Population Ecology, Geography, Geology, Demography, Econometrics, Psychology.

Walter K. Dodds, Matt R. Whiles, in Freshwater Ecology (Third Edition), Macroecology. Brown (a) proposed macroecology to encompass very broad patterns in ecology. This area of research concentrates on understanding the distribution and abundance of species at large spatial scales (Gaston and Blackburn, ) in addition to other broad scale patterns, such as .Macroecology by James H.
