A new vision is sweeping through ecological science: The dense web
of dependencies that makes up an ecosystem has gained an added
dimension-the dimension of time. Every field, forest, and park is
full of living organisms adapted for relationships with creatures
that are now extinct. In a vivid narrative, Connie Barlow shows how
the idea of "missing partners" in nature evolved from isolated,
curious examples into an idea that is transforming how ecologists
understand the entire flora and fauna of the Americas. This
fascinating book will enrich the experience of any amateur
naturalist, as well as teach us that the ripples of biodiversity
loss around us are just the leading edge of what may well become
perilous cascades of extinction.
