Klappentext zu „Macroevolutionary Theory on Macroecological Patterns “
This study of distribution, abundance and population size variation in animals (formerly regarded as pure ecological subjects) is presented in an evolutionary framework. Arguing that evolved characters of organisms such as morphology, behavior and life history influence their ecological relationships, this new conceptual framework is broadly relevant to ecologists, evolutionary biologists, behavioral scientists and entomologists.

Rezension zu „Macroevolutionary Theory on Macroecological Patterns “
"This book is clearly written, well illustrated, and logically organized...[it] is very readable and presents an excellent and well-supported argument for the inclusion of macroevolutionary data within macroecological analyses. The ideas put forth are certainly worthy of consideration by all researchers and students in evolutionary and ecological biology." Ecoscience "The book is satisfyingly rich in detail, from descriptions of Price's focal system ... and the history of the study of insect population dynamics, to his breadth of coverage within insects." The Quarterly Review of Biology
