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.

"Le prix de la métaphore est une éternelle vigilance", annonce l'auteur en prélude à une analyse précise et fouillée des analogies, métaphores et idées reçues qui encombrent notre compréhension du vivant. L'ADN recèle les secrets du développement, nous dit-on, alors qu'il ne saurait spécifier le repliement d'une simple protéine, et moins encore les étapes du développement d'un organisme. L'organisme s'adapte à son environnement, nous assure-t-on encore, en s'insérant dans une «niche écologique» préexistante, quand il apparaît à l'évidence que les organismes créent eux-mêmes leur propre niche écologique. De cornes de rhinocéros en maïs transgénique, sans négliger les graphes ni les analyses statistiques, Richard C. Lewontin débusque les abus de langage trop commodes qui déforment notre vision de la biologie, et, en substituant à la classique double hélice une «triple hélice» prenant en compte l'environnement, ouvre à la recherche des perspectives nouvelles.

Principles of Environmental Physics: Plants, Animals, and the Atmosphere, 4e, provides a basis for understanding the complex physical interactions of plants and animals with their natural environment. It is the essential reference to provide environmental and ecological scientists and researchers with the physical principles, analytic tools, and data analysis methods they need to solve problems. This book describes the principles by which radiative energy reaches the earth's surface and reviews the latest knowledge concerning the surface radiation budget. The processes of radiation, convection, conduction, evaporation, and carbon dioxide exchange are analyzed. Many applications of environmental physics principles are reviewed, including the roles of surface albedo and atmospheric aerosols in modifying microclimate and climate, remote sensing of vegetation properties, wind forces on trees and crops, dispersion of pathogens and aerosols, controls of evaporation from vegetation and soil (including implications of changing weather and climate), and interpretation of micrometeorological measurements of carbon dioxide and other trace gas fluxes.
