Macroecology to Unite All Life, Large and Small
Abstract
Macroecology is the study of the mechanisms underlying general patterns of ecology across scales. Research in microbial ecology and macroecology have long been detached. In this work, we argue that it is time to bridge the gap, as they share a common currency of species and individuals, and a common tenet of understanding the causes and consequences of changes in biodiversity. Microbial ecology and macroecology will mutually benefit from a unified research agenda and shared datasets that span the entirety of the biodiversity of life and the geographic expanse of the Earth.
