The Inadequate Environment Nitrogen and the Abundance of Animals
1993. XIX, 425 pp. 41 figs. Hardcover DM 68,- ISBN 3-540-56828-X
Ecology is characterized by the rapidly growing complexity and diversity of facts, aspects, examples and observations. Sorely needed is the development of common patterns, rules, that, as in other sciences such as physics, can explain the increasing complexity and variability we observe in more general terms. One commonly held opinion is that the competition for energy is the most important factor in eco- logical interactions. Tom White, one of the "seniors" in eco- logy, disagrees and has collected in his book numerous examples from the entire animal kingdom that show and explain a different pattern: the universal hunger for nitrogen as the misery that drives the ecology of all organisms. He believes that the awareness of this fundamental role that the limitation of nitrogen plays in the ecology of all organisms
K puld be as much a part of each ecologist's intellectual X ment as is the awareness of the fact of evolution by / ^ of natural selection. His claim is that not "energy"
rogen" is the most limited "currency" in the animal r the production and.growth of their young.

Conservation biology has emerged as one of the most important areas of ecology; using concepts from traditional resource management and modem population biology to preserve biological diversity. In order to really understand the problems of decreasing diversity and the solutions to maintaining it, the attention of ecologists must be focussed on larger spatial and temporal scales than they are traditionally used to. The book discusses methods and statistical techniques that can be used to analyze spatial patterns in geographic populations. These techniquesincorporateideas fromfractal geometrytodevelopmeasures of geographic range fragmentation, and can be used to ask questions regarding the conservation of biodiversity.

The British Ecological Society was founded in April 1913, when it replaced the British Vegetation Com- mittee (founded in 1904). The objects of the Society are to advance the education of the public and to advance and support research in the subject of ecology as a branch of natural science, and to disseminate the results of such research. It does this by publishing the Journal of Ecology, the Journal of Animal Ecology, the Journal of Applied Ecology, Functional Ecology and a Bulletin for members, and by holding regular meetings and symposia on subjects of current ecological inter- est. At present these are held in December, March or April, and July, in various places. The meeting in March or April is a symposium and that in July is devoted primarily to excursions to places of ecological interest. Additional meetings are organized by six specialist groups.
MEMBERSHIP of the Society is open to all, whether or not they reside in the British Isles, who are genuinely and personally interested in Ecology and wish to
receive the Society's journals for their own use. For 1994, the minimum subscription for ordinary mem- bership is ?16.00 due on 1 January, and this entitles members to attend the meetings and make use of other facilities that the Society may offer, to vote in the election of Council and Officers and to be eligible for election to Council and Office. For a subscription of ?31.00 members may receive one journal, for ?46.00 two journals, for ?61.00 three journals and for ?76.00 all four journals. Student membership is available at ?8.00 (no journal), ?15.50 (one journal), ?23.00 (two journals), ?30.50 (three journals) and ?38.00 (four journals). There is a discount of?1 .00 for those paying by Direct Debit.
Full details of membership and an application form may be obtained on request from the British Ecolo- gical Society, a charitable company registered in England No. 1522897 and limited by guarantee. Registered office: 26 Blades Court, Deodar Road, Putney, London SW1 5 2NU.
