This ambitious book presents a new, general neutral theory to explain the origin, maintenance, and loss of biodiversity in a biogeographic context. Until now biogeography (the study of the geographic distribution of species) and biodiversity (the study of species richness and relative species abundance) have had largely disjunct intellectual histories. In this book, Stephen Hubbell develops a formal mathematical theory that unifies these two fields. When a speciation process is incorporated into Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson's now classical theory of island biogeography, the generalized theory predicts the existence of a universal, dimensionless biodiversity number. In the theory, this fundamental biodiversity number, together with the migration or dispersal rate, completely determines the steady-state distribution of species richness and relative species abundance on local to large geographic spatial scales and short-term to evolutionary time scales. Although neutral, Hubbell's theory is nevertheless able to generate many nonobvious, testable, and remarkably accurate quantitative predictions about biodiversity and biogeography. In many ways Hubbell's theory is the ecological analog to the neutral theory of genetic drift in genetics. The unified neutral theory of biogeography and biodiversity should stimulate research in new theoretical and empirical directions by ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and biogeographers. 410 0$aMonographs in population biology ;$v32. 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aBiogeography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aBiogeography. 676 $a578/.09 700 $aHubbell$b Stephen P.$f1942-$0482079 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453295503321 996 $aUnified neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography$9276164 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00871nam0-2200313---450 001 990005650420403321 005 20241128100924.0 035 $a000565042 035 $aFED01000565042 035 $a(Aleph)000565042FED01 035 $a000565042 100 $a19990604d1941----km-y0itay50------ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay-------001yy 200 1 $a<>fondamenti della poetica$fG.
