  Covering the field of ecological stoichiometry, this study brings this field into its own as a unifying force in ecology and evolution. Synthesizing a range of knowledge, it shows how an understanding of the biochemical deployment of elements in organisms from microbes to metazoa gives the key to making sense of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
