Pattern and Process in Macroecology
Issues of scale have become increasingly important to ecologists. This book addresses the structure of regional (large-scale) ecological assemblages or communities, and the influence this has at a local (small-scale) level. This macroecological perspective is essential for the broader study of ecology because the structure and function of local communities cannot be properly understood without reference to the region in which they are situated. The book reviews and synthesizes the issues of current importance in macroecology, providing a balanced summary of the field that will be useful for biologists at advanced undergraduate level and above. These general issues are illustrated by frequent...
Avian Invasions
This text summarizes and synthesizes the literature on introduced bird ecology and evolution. It unravels the insights that the study of exotic birds brings to these research strands.

Interspecific Competition in Birds
Provides a current, critical review of the importance of interspecific competition, considering the evolutionary effects of interspecific competition, its importance in structuring communities, and influence on the traits of individual species.
The Sensory Ecology of Birds
This is the first integrated synthesis of avian sensory ecology, explaining the broad principles and taking the reader into the sensory world of birds from an evolutionary and ecological perspective.
Foundations of Macroecology
Macroecology is an approach to science that emphasizes description and explanation of patterns and processes at large spatial and temporal scales. Some liken it to seeing the forest through the trees, an apt ecological use of the proverbial phrase. The term itself was introduced to modern literature by our authors James Brown and Brian Maurer, in a seminal science paper in 1989. We then published books by both of these authors, including Brown s Macroecology in 1995, which quickly traveled to the shelf of classics in ecology, credited with cohering and inspiring a subfield of ecology proper.While macroecology is to many a modern subfield, the large-scale perspective it advocates is implicit ...
Global Interdependence
Global Interdependence provides a new account of world history from the end of World War II to the present, an era when transnational communities began to challenge the long domination of the nation-state. In this single-volume survey, leading scholars elucidate the political, economic, cultural, and environmental forces that have shaped the planet in the past sixty years. Offering fresh insight into international politics since 1945, Wilfried Loth examines how miscalculations by both the United States and Soviet Union brought about a Cold War conflict that was not necessarily inevitable. Thomas Zeiler explains how American free-market principles spurred the creation of an entirely new econo...
Paleozoology and Paleoenvironments
Outlines the ecological fundamentals, assumptions, and techniques for reconstructing past environments using fossil animals from archaeological and paleontological sites.
