About The Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity and Biogeography

Despite its supreme importance and the threat of its global crash biodiversity remains poorly understood both empirically and theoretically 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
