This volume presents an overview of current accomplishments and
future directions in ecological theory. The twenty-three chapters
cover a broad range of important topics, from the physiology and
behavior of individuals or groups of organisms, through population
dynamics and community structure, to the ecology of ecosystems and
the geochemical cycles of the entire biosphere. The authors focus
on ways in which theory, whether expressed mathematically or
verbally, can contribute to defining and solving fundamental
problems in ecology. A second aim is to highlight areas where
dialogue between theorists and empiricists is likely to be
especially rewarding. The authors are R. M. Anderson, C. W. Clark,
M. L. Cody, J. E. Cohen, P. R. Ehrlich, M. W. Feldman, M. E.
