摘要
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.

Understanding the roles of evolutionary, population, and community processes in global change is critical to predicting the biological consequences of climatic shifts and landscape modifications. This volume, and the workshop in September 1991 from which it is derived, are focused on those processes in temperate zone systems, exclusive of the oceans. The various papers offer challenging analyses and syntheses of existing theory and data on evolutionary responses to fragmented populations and elevated temperatures and patterns of diversity changes in communities experiencing global onslaughts. The authors extend across the spectrum of internationally acknowledged authorities to younger workers impacting the field. The major sections describe patterns and determinants of climate and landscape change; physiological and population responses to environmental change; evolutionary responses to environmental change; community responses to environmental change; landscape changes and habitat fragmentation; and the context for population and community research on global change. Graphs, tables, extensive bibliography, and adequate index complement the text. Advanced undergraduates through professional. E. J. Kormondy; University of Hawaii at Hilo
