Why do we age? Why cooperate? Why do so many species engage in sex?
Why do the tropics have so many species? When did humans start to
affect world climate?
This book provides an introduction to a range of fundamental
questions that have taxed evolutionary biologists and ecologists
for decades. Some of the phenomena discussed are, on first
reflection, simply puzzling to understand from an evolutionary
perspective, whilst others have direct implications for the future
of the planet. All of the questions posed have at least a partial
solution, all have seen exciting breakthroughs in recent years, yet
many of the explanations continue to be hotly debated.
Big Questions in Ecology and Evolution is a curiosity-driven book,
written in an accessible way so as to appeal to a broad audience.
It is very deliberately not a formal text book, but something
designed to transmit the excitement and breadth of the field by
discussing a number of major questions in ecology and evolution and
how they have been answered. This is a book aimed at informing and
inspiring anybody with an interest in ecology and evolution. It
reveals to the reader the immense scope of the field, its
fundamental importance, and the exciting breakthroughs that have
been made in recent years.
