Acknowledgements
This book arose from a planned review article that grew too long. Charley Krebs and Tom Schoener encouraged me to turn it into a book. It was an idea that I had resisted for quite some time, so the book would likely not have come into existence without their influence.
Tom also used some preliminary chapter drafts in a graduate seminar course, which furnished some much-needed motivation for speeding up my writing schedule. Chris Klausmeier, Bob Holt, and Mark McPeek early on provided valuable feedback, and Michael Cortez sent comments on the longest chapter. I am grateful to Ian Sherman, Charlie Bath, and Giulia Lipparini at Oxford University Press for their input into this project. I am also very much indebted to my wife, Janet Pelley, for her forbearance as I spent an inordinate amount of time writing this work, and for providing feedback and copy editing on many of the chapters. The book was written during the first two years of the SARS-CoV2 epidemic, which limited access to libraries and people who could have made the writing process easier. Weekly discussions with Tom Reimchen, Don Kramer, and Larry Dill have helped keep me informed of recent developments in ecology and evolution during that period. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada provided financial support through a Discovery Grant.
