Distribution Ecology

Viac o knihe

The book explores individual-species ecology through the lens of spatial variations in abundance, emphasizing the importance of both environmental and physiological factors. It highlights how ecological processes are influenced by geographical scales, with biotic factors being more significant at smaller scales and abiotic factors, like climate, taking precedence at larger scales. Additionally, it discusses how organisms respond differently depending on these scales, focusing on adaptive traits at small scales and tolerance traits at large scales.
