About the Book

Two aspects of global change - landscape fragmentation and climate change - may have major effects on life on earth. These topics are currently receiving considerable attention from scientists, politicians and the public. However, absent from most discussions is an appreciation that ecological interactions among organisms as well as evolutionary responses will certainly influence biological responses to global change. This book explores how an understanding of such ecological and evolutionary interactions will be essential to forecasting the biological consequences of global change.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Patterns and determinants of climate and landscape change: scenarios of global warming, Stephen H. Schneider; evaluating landscape change - patterns of worldwide deforestation and local fragmentation, Martha J. Groom and Nathan Schumaker; population and community processes in the response of terrestrial ecosystems to global change, David S. Schimel. Part 2 Physiology and population responses to environmental change: terrestrial vegetation and climate change - integrating models and experiments, Stephen W. Pacala and George C. Hurtt; plant defense, herbivory, and climate change, Matthew P. Ayres; population responses to environmental change - operative environments, physiologically structured models, and population dynamics, Arthur E. Dunham; climate change and ecological interactions, Anthony R. Ives and George Gilchrist; individual-based models for predicting effects of global change, William W. Murdoch. Part 3 Evolutionary responses to environmental change: evolutionary genetics and climatic change - will animals adapt to global warming?, Ary A. Hoffmann and Mark W. Blows; evolutionary responses of plants to global change, Monica A. Gever and Todd E. Dawson; the evolutionary dynamics of fragmented plant populations, Kent S. Holsinger; genetic consequences of extinction and recolonization in fragmented habitats, David E. McCauley; evolution and extinction in response to environmental change, Michael Lynch and Russell Lande; global change - lessons from and for evolutionary biology, Joseph Travis and Douglas J. Futuyma. Part 4 Community responses to environmental change: species dynamics and global environmental change - a perspective from ecosystem experiments, Stephen R. Carpenter, et al; effects of global climate change on North American birds and their communities, Terry L. Root; implications of climate change for stream communities, Nancy B. Grimm; paleoecological perspectives on modeling broad-scale responses to global change, James S. Clark; carbon dioxide limitation and potential direct effects of its accumulation on plant communities, David Tilman; a salty and salutary perspective on global change, Robert T. Paine; forecasting ecological responses to global change - the need for large-scale comparative studies, Michael L. Pace. Part 5 Landscape change and habitat fragmentation: species invasions and deletions - community effects and responses to climate and habitat change, David M. Lodge; species diversity, spatial scale, and global change, Susan Harrison; effects of global change on the dynamics of insect host-parasitoid interactions, M.P. Hassell, et al; conservation planning for species occupying fragmented landscapes - the case of the Northern Spotted Owl, Kevin McKelvey, et al; part contents.
