Recenzje

'… this book opens many intriguing questions about the theoretical framework of community ecology … The rather idiosyncratic positions expressed by the authors may be stimulating for a broad audience of ecologists, even (perhaps especially) for those who disagree. It is exactly the unusual character of this book that makes it particularly interesting.' Simone Fattorini, Community Ecology
