Communities have no defined spatial or temporal extent. Usingthe information and studies discussed in class (e.g., Ricklefs2008, or Brooker et al. 2009) or examples from the primaryliterature (peer-reviewed articles), in what context or at whatscale is community ecology most useful? Does community ecology failat any spatial or temporal scale of study? Consider the scales ofstudy from molecular/genomic studies to research on continents orbiomes, with population, community, and ecosystem ecology in themiddle.
