Metacommunity Ecology (Monographs in Population Biology, 59)
by Jonathan M. Chase, Mathew A. Leibold
Metacommunity Ecology, part of the Monographs in Population Biology series, examines how species coexist and diversify across landscapes. Authors Jonathan M. Chase and Mathew A. Leibold integrate spatial ecology, dispersal, and interaction processes to illuminate biodiversity mechanisms in varying environments.
About This Book
Metacommunity Ecology is a key contribution to the Monographs in Population Biology series, volume 59. Authored by Jonathan M. Chase and Mathew A. Leibold, it delves into the principles governing ecological communities at multiple spatial levels.
The book addresses how local and regional processes shape species distributions and interactions. It emphasizes the role of dispersal, environmental heterogeneity, and biotic interactions in metacommunity dynamics.
Through theoretical and empirical insights, the authors offer a comprehensive synthesis of metacommunity concepts. This work serves as an essential resource for ecologists studying biodiversity and community assembly.
The monograph builds on foundational population biology ideas to explain complex ecological patterns observed in nature.
