	MACROECOLOGY
		Macroecology provides a new set of methodological approaches to study ecological patterns and processes emerging from large numbers (i.e.
		The main aim of the Virtual Institute of Macroecology is to develop unifying methods and concepts for macroecological patterns under the conditions of global change.
		This aim will be achieved by analyzing patterns of abundance, diversity and distribution in conjunction with their drivers and their specific characteristics.

	Macroecology - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Macroecology is the subfield of ecology which deals with the study of relationships between organisms and their environment at large spatial scales to characterise and explain statistical patterns of abundance, distribution and diversity.
		Macroecology approaches the idea of studying ecosystems using a "top down" approach.
		Classic ecological questions amenable to study through the techniques of macroecology include questions of species richness and the species-area curve, range size, body size and species abundance.

	Macroecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macroecology is the subfield of ecology which deals with the study of relationships between organisms and their environment at large spatial scales to characterise and explain statistical patterns of abundance, distribution and diversity.
		The term was coined by James Brown of the University of New Mexico and Brian Maurer of Michigan State University in a 1989 paper in Science.

	Macroecology Research (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Macroecology is concerned with the statistical distributions of variables among large numbers of comparable ecological "particles." Usually these particles are either many individual organisms within species populations, or many species within local, regional or continental biotas.
		Macroecology tends to focus on phenomena at regional to global spatial scales and decadal to millennial temporal scales.
		Macroecology explores the domain where ecology, biogeography, paleobiology, and macroevolution come together, and thus has the potential to forge synthetic links among these disciplines.

	24th IOC -- Description Symposium 19 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Hence the development of macroecology, a discipline concerned primarily with understanding the division of resources and space at multispatial and multitemporal scales.
		Being a young field, macroecology currently fosters a lively debate affecting the validity of its approaches and methods.
		Accordingly, the aim of the symposium is to highlight this field of research, to spread its grand theme and potential, to warn that much ground has still to be covered, and to inspire new directions of research based either on the vast amount of existing ornithological data and knowledge or through generation of new information.

	Macroecological studies of species composition, habitat and biodiversity using GIS and canonical correspondence analysis
		The emergence of macroecology stems mainly from theoretical advances in modelling the complexity and scale-dependence of ecological systems, the availability of large continental databases of species distributions and abundance, and technological advances in compute power and spatial analytical techniques.
		The breadth of research topics in macroecology and techniques for analyzing the geographical structure of populations are described in Brown (1995) and Maurer (1995).
		At the core of the interest in macroecology is a realization by many biogeographers and ecologists that applied disciplines such as conservation biology and resource management remain focused at fine-scale issues, and their methods are not easily extrapolated to address global ecological problems from intensifying human activity (Brown and Maurer 1989).

		In Macroecology, James H. Brown proposes a radical new research agenda designed to broaden the scope of ecology to encompass vast geographical areas and very long time spans.
		While much ecological research is narrowly focused and experimental, providing detailed information that cannot be used to generalize from one ecological community or time period to another, macroecology draws on data from many disciplines to create a less detailed but much broader picture with greater potential for generalization.
		Brown also demonstrates the advantages of macroecology for conservation, showing how it allows scientists to look beyond endangered species and ecological communities to consider the long history and large geographic scale of human impacts.

		Macroecology deals with ecological patterns and processes on large spatial and temporal scales.
		We review major achievements of bird macroecology that concern patterns in interspecific and intraspecific differences in population abundances, relationship between population densities and extent of species occurrence, spatiotemporal variability of abundances and major patterns in faunal structure and bird species richness on the Earth surface.
		Macroecology is shown to be important not only for its own sake, but also for understanding small-scale ecological phenomena since these are largely derived just from the large-scale patterns and processes.

	CytoBuoy flow cytometers for biodiversity monitoring and macroecology.
		The increasing preoccupation with biodiversity in the world calls for the use of dedicated monitoring protocols based upon efficient and rapid sampling techniques.
		In view of a macroecology approach, characterizing and explaining statistical patterns of abundance, distribution and diversity it is desirable to have samples of hundreds or thousands of particles.
		The availability of rapid and quantitative diagnostic tools for "real time" environmental monitoring will form a strong support for a dedicated and effective management of environment and resources.

		Macroecology of biodiversity — Macroecology is a newly emerging ecological discipline that aims to understand the rules for the division of food and space among species at all scales.
		Our current interest is to investigate the persistence of fragmented metapopulation in landscapes from the perspectives of macroecology and population genetics.
		Because of the pheromone system for aggregating beetle populations and the limited dispersal capability, beetles do not randomly select trees in a stand, rather they show a contagious colonization pattern, i.e., a tree with infested proximate neighbors is expected to be more likely attacked than a tree far away.

		One dimension of this task is to establish that there is an empirical relationship between these macrosocial forces (specifically, those forces affecting the ways in which cities grow and decline relative to one another) and educational accomplishments.
		Another dimension seeks to demonstrate that the educational system—including its students—is part of a larger urban ecology, a "macroecology" of urban relationships that treats the educational system as part of the institutional infrastructure that helps some cities and hinders others in the competition for economic resources, population, and a tax base.
		The ecological model of the educational process suggests that it is possible to distinguish the salient characteristics of the social arrangements within which schools are embedded as a means of understanding educational outcomes and identifying support services for effecting change.
