Complex Ecology
Foundational Perspectives on Dynamic Approaches to Ecology and Conservation
From climate change to species extinction, humanity is confronted with an increasing array of societal and environmental challenges that defy simple quantifiable solutions. Complexity-based ecology provides a new paradigm for ecologists and conservationists keen to embrace the uncertainty that is pressed upon us. This book presents key research papers chosen by some 60 scholars from various continents, across a diverse span of sub-disciplines. The papers are set alongside first person commentary from many of the seminal voices involved, offering unprecedented access to experts viewpoints. The works assembled also shed light on the process of science in general, showing how the shifting to wider perspectives allows for new ideas to take hold. Ideal for undergraduate and advanced students of ecology and conservation, their educators and those working across allied fields, this is the first book of its kind to focus on complexity-based approaches and provides a benchmark for future collected volumes.
Charles G. Curtin is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy at the University of Montana. In addition to having helped found complexity-related programs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other universities, he has over 20 years experience designing and implementing ecology and conservation-related research projects using complexity-based approaches.
Timothy F. H. Allen is Emeritus Professor of Botany and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. A leading proponent of hierarchies and complex systems-based approaches to ecology, he has contributed to more than 60 peer reviewed articles and eight books.

From Charles Curtin In gratitude to my family including Anne, Conor, and Rory for their love and support. To my first mentor John Cairns, Jr. who taught me that science at its heart is an ethical venture and to never let the constraints of existing systems or cynical realities prevent one from striving for ways to make it more relevant in the service of society.
From Timothy Allen To my family, Valerie Ahl, Josephine, Gwynedd and Harrison Allen.
We could not print papers or commentary by everyone who contributed ideas but have listed as a contributor anyone who responded to our request for input. Of the many papers nominated, we selected for inclusion those that fit into a coherent complexity-based framework and that best represented a particular topic area or a widely cited author within the broader complexity parameter. Note that many excellent papers could not be included because they did not fit into the overarching framework that we used for selection, or we simply did not have enough room. The attached list includes the most recent professional address of the contributors of which we have a record. However, this is constantly changing so some affiliations are undoubtedly out of date and will become increasingly more so as time passes.
