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.
