TAILIEUCHUNG - Body Size: The Structure and Function of Aquatic Ecosystems

More than ten years ago, two of us (AGH and DGR) were lucky enough to edit a previous symposium of the British Ecological Society (BES) – Aquatic Ecology: Scale, Pattern and Process (Giller, Hildrew & Raffaelli, 1994). In the Introduction to that volume, we pointed out that the BES had not devoted a single previous symposium to aquatic ecosystems. Evidently we did not change the culture, since the Body Size symposium held at the University of Hertfordshire in September 2005 was only the second! Aquatic Ecology: Scale, Pattern and Process had two objectives: (i) to explore how the scale of approach affected the patterns that were detected and. | G. Ecological Reviews Body size The Structure and Function of Aquatic Ecosystems MMOv aonm EdnK M5-Bro n Cambridge 9780S2186l724 This page intentionally left blank Body Size The Structure and Function of Aquatic Ecosystems Ecologists have long struggled to predict features of ecological systems such as the numbers and diversity of organisms. The wide range of body sizes in ecological communities from tiny microbes to large animals and plants is emerging as the key to prediction. Based on the relationship of body size with key biological rates and with the physical world experienced by aquatic organisms we may be able to understand patterns of abundance and diversity biogeography interactions in food webs and the impact of fishing adding up to a potential periodic table for ecology. Remarkable progress on the unravelling describing and modelling of aquatic food webs revealing the fundamental role of body size makes a book emphasizing marine and freshwater ecosystems particularly apt. Here the importance of body size is examined at a range of scales yielding broad perspectives that will be of interest to professional ecologists from students to senior researchers. Alan G.
