This book addresses an important problem in ecology: how are
communities assembled from species pools? This pressing question
underlies a broad array of practical problems in ecology and
environmental science, including restoration of damaged landscapes,
management of protected areas, and protection of threatened
species. This book presents a simple logical structure for
ecological assembly and addresses key areas including species
pools, traits, environmental filters, and functional groups. It
demonstrates the use of two predictive models (CATS and Traitspace)
and consists of many wide-ranging examples including plants in
deserts, wetlands, and forests, and communities of fish,
amphibians, birds, mammals, and fungi. Global in scope, this volume
ranges from the arid lands of North Africa, to forests in the
Himalayas, to Amazonian floodplains. There is a strong focus on
applications, particularly the twin challenges of conserving
biodiversity and understanding community responses to climate
change.
