The scuba-diving philosopher and best-selling author of Other Minds explores the origins of animal consciousness. Dip below the ocean’s surface and you are soon confronted by forms of life that could not seem more foreign to our own: sea sponges, soft corals and flower-like worms, whose rooted bodies and intricate geometry are more reminiscent of plant life than anything recognisably animal.

El planeta está cambiando. Las poblaciones también. Algunas se expanden sin control. Otras se desmoronan en silencio. ¿Cómo entender lo que está ocurriendo? ¿Y qué podemos hacer al respecto?

Este segundo libro es una exploración apasionante de los ritmos invisibles que rigen la vida en la Tierra. A través de ejemplos reales, historias sorprendentes y explicaciones accesibles, descubrirás cómo las poblaciones suben, bajan, migran, se agrupan, se dispersan o incluso desaparecen. Aprenderás qué es el efecto Allee, qué ocurre cuando llega una especie invasora, cómo funcionan las redes tróficas y por qué los humanos no somos tan distintos del resto de las especies.

¿Por qué algunas especies se multiplican mientras otras desaparecen sin dejar rastro? ¿Qué fuerzas invisibles determinan el destino de una población? Este libro responde esas preguntas con claridad, sin tecnicismos, y con ejemplos reales que muestran cómo la vida se organiza, se adapta y a veces se rompe. Desde el crecimiento explosivo de los conejos hasta el freno invisible de los recursos, pasando por el papel del azar, los depredadores y la estrategia reproductiva, este libro ofrece una introducción rigurosa pero accesible a los mecanismos que hacen crecer o declinar a las poblaciones.

The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is one of the strangest creatures nature ever created. Remarkably little is known about the eel, even today. What we do know is that it’s born as a tiny willow-leaf-shaped larva in the Sargasso Sea, travels on the ocean currents toward the coasts of Europe - a journey of about 4,000 miles that takes at least two years. Upon arrival, it transforms itself into a glass eel and then into a yellow eel before it wanders up into fresh water.
