A plethora of different theories, models, and concepts make up the field of community ecology. What other scientific areas might serve as a guiding framework? Amid this vast body of work, is it possible to build one general theory of ecological communities?
The Theory of Ecological Communities takes this as a starting point to pull together community ecology's various perspectives into a more unified whole.Mark Vellend builds a theory of ecological communities based on four overarching processes: selection among species, drift, dispersal, and speciation. As it turns out, the core focus of community ecology--understanding patterns of diversity and composition of biological variants across space and time--is shared by evolutionary biology and its very coherent conceptual framework, population genetics theory. These are analogues of the four central processes in population
