Concepts and Consequences: The 43rd Annual Symposium of the British Ecological Society Held at the University of Birmingham Herausgeber: Blackburn, Tim M.; Gaston, Kevin J.
Major researchers in the field present overviews of current thinking about the form and determinants of macroecological patterns. Each section presents different viewpoints on the answer to a key question in macroecology: Why are most species rare and small-bodied, and restricted in their distribution?

Dr Blackburn''s research at the University of Birmingham is concerned with a broad range of large-scale patterns and processes in ecology.
