Abstract

Book Reviews 191 opposing traits. The role of contemporary ecologi- arguments and data, highlighting the fact that cal factors is seen as largely restricted to facilitating even though this is a wide and established field of differences in mating system between closely enquiry, there still remain even more unturned related species, or between populations of the stones. In fact one is almost left with the feeling same species. that the entire field is a bit up in the air and is in The final section, ‘Birth and death of bird species’ critical need of data to pin at least one corner of the (37 pages), explores some of the fundamental eco- puzzle down. logical mechanisms thought to underlie variations A second reason for why one feels lured into the in extinction risk and species richness. First up for mystical connections of dispersal is that without investigation is the role of body size, clutch size fail, each of the chapters introduces a fresh view of (i.e. fecundity) and ecological specialization in the topic. With so many angles to pick from, one predisposing species to the principal sources of inevitably feels personally involved and some- extinction threat: habitat loss versus human
