This book is a unique collection of evolutionary and ecologicalperspectives in the study of biodiversity. This book traces past landmarks,current questions, and future trends in biodiversity research ranging from theroles of the fossil record and molecular phylogenies in untangling the genesisof diversity; to population, community, and ecosystem-level approaches inunderstanding patterns of species persistence.

Local diversity: a problem with too many solutions
The population dynamics of single host - multiparasitoid interactions
Structural constraints on food web assembly
Trophic interactions, nutrient supply, and the structure of freshwater pelagic food webs
Linking communities and ecosystems: trophic interactions as nutrient cycling pathways
Large scale diversity patterns and conservation
Does climate cause the biodiversity gradient?
Spatial covariance in the species richness of higher taxa
Biodiversity of parasites in relation to their life-cycle
