The empirical-theoretical divide in ecology

Front Matter

Abstract

Sam Scheiner published a piece recently on ecology's lack of engagement with theory. Frankly, the title pretty much tells you his conclusion "The ecological literature: an idea free distribution", but if you want to know more, either read the original piece (it's short) or EEB & Flow's nice write up on it. The empirical-theoretical divide is a topic I've been pondering for a while.
