Product Review
' this new book presents for the first time a comprehensive overview which summarizes a plethora of views and applications. The volume is written for a wide audience ranging from advanced students to established researchers. It covers a wide range of ecological problems presenting theoretical models as well as specific applications in different research disciplines. the volume provides an great overview of the cutting edge in macroecological research. I recommend it to everyone interested in large-scale ecology.' Basic and Applied Ecology
'The book presents macroecology at its broadest sense, with achievements that have emerged in various biological disciplines, and which thus can be treated under this label because they greatly contributed to answers of major ecological questions It is therefore an extremely useful reading not only for those interested in macroecology itself, but for everybody who wants to know which big ecological ideas are now in the air.' David Storch, Charles University, Czech Republic
