<p><b>A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practice</b><br><br>Scale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. <i>Scaling in Ecology with a Model System</i> synthesizes nearly three decades of research on the ecology of <i>Sarracenia purpurea</i>¿the northern pitcher plant¿showing how this carnivorous plant and its associated food web of microbes and macrobes can inform the challenging question of scaling in ecology.<br><br>Drawing on a wealth of findings from their pioneering lab and field experiments, Aaron Ellison and Nicholas Gotelli reveal how the <i>Sarracenia</i> microecosystem has emerged as a model system for experimental ecology. Ellison and Gotelli examine <i>Sarracenia</i> at a hierarchy of spatial scales¿individual pitchers within plants, plants within bogs, and bogs within landscapes¿and demonstrate how pitcher plants can serve a
