A comprehensive framework for understanding species coexistence Coexistence is the central concept in community ecology, but an understanding of this concept requires that we study the actual mechanisms of species interactions. Coexistence in Ecology examines the major features of these mechanisms for species that coexist at different positions in complex food webs, and derives empirical tests from model predictions. Exploring the various challenges species face, Mark McPeek systematically builds a model food web, beginning with an ecosystem devoid of life and then adding one species at a time. With the introduction of each new species, he evaluates the properties it must possess to invade a community and quantifies the changes in the abundances of other species that result from a successful invasion. McPeek continues this process until he achieves a multitrophic level food web with many species coexisting at each trophic level, from omnivores, mutualists, and pathogens to herbivores, carnivores, and basic plants. He then describes the observational and experimental empirical studies that can test the theoretical predictions resulting from the model analyses. Synthesizing decades of theoretical research in community ecology, Coexistence in Ecology offers new perspectives on how to develop an empirical program of study rooted in the natural histories of species and the mechanisms by which they actually interact with one another.

Der früh verstorbene US-amerikanische Künstler Mark Lombardi (1951–2000) produzierte visuelle Netzwerke und Diagramme, die die unsichtbaren Verknüpfungen zwischen politisch-ökonomischen Vorgängen, Korporationen und Individuen transparent machen. Dieses Notizbuch bildet nicht die bekannten feingliedrigen Zeichnungen und Netze ab, sondern zeigt Lombardis Recherchehilfsmittel und Denkstützen: seine Karteikarten. Der ehemalige Bibliothekar Lombardi, der für seine Akribie bekannt war, hat seine Informationen aus öffentlich zugänglichen Quellen mittels eines Karteikartensystem sortiert und archiviert, von denen einige hier abgedruckt sind. In ihrer persönlichen Einführung beschreibt Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev ihre persönlicheSicht auf dieses außergewöhnliche künstlerische Oeuvre, dessen Verbindungslinien sich der Faktenlage von Finanzskandalen, Terrorangriffen und Verbrechen unterordnen und Namen nennen. Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (*1957) ist künstlerische Leiterin der dOCUMENTA (13). Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
