THREE HIDDEN FIGURES OF NAZI ART LOOTING, 1940-1945: SANTO SEMO, HUGO BARCAS, RUDOLF HOLZAPFEL.
Janet I . Wasserman

Three minor figures, who hid themselves, were participants in the Nazi art looting operation in Occupied France. Without them - and all the other hidden figures - even if minor players in the deadly money game of art looting, would the Nazi operation

The symposium ‘What is Macroecology?’ was held in London on 20 June 2012. The event was the inaugural meeting of the Macroecology Special Interest Group of the British Ecological Society and was attended by nearly 100 scientists from 11 countries. The meeting reviewed the recent development of the macroecological agenda. The key themes that emerged were a shift towards more explicit modelling of ecological processes, a growing synthesis across systems and scales, and new opportunities to apply macroecological concepts in other research fields.

John A. Endler
American Zoologist·1982
Biogeography has had a long history, but only recently has it started to be more than a descriptive subject. Models have been developed which help to explain patterns of geographical distributions of animals and plants. Examples include dispersal, vicariance, and ecological determinism. The dispersal model proposes that present-day distributions were caused by long distance dispersal among disjunct localities. The vicariance model proposes that the distributions resulted from the fragmentation of formerly continuous distributions with accompanying speciation. Ecological determinism proposes that whatever the historical changes in distribution (dispersal or vicariance), present-day ecological factors are the major determinant of distributions. We too often see in the literature large bodies of data analyzed with respect to only one of these competing models. I organized the symposium to bring together what I thought were particularly interesting examples of each approach. It is obvious from the papers that there are multiple explanations for most species distributions, and that some effort should be made to integrate them.
