生物多样性的研究最初是一个统一的领域，涵盖了生态学和进化论，宏观和微观现象。但在20世纪，主流趋势将生态学和进化分开，并将两个学科的重点推向微观视角。宏观生态学和宏观进化论在20世纪70年代和80年代作为自觉的不同领域重新出现，但它们在很大程度上仍然是相互分离的。在这里，我们认为，尽管存在挑战，但将宏观生态学和宏观进化结合起来是值得努力的。我们提出了25个关于生物多样性的基本问题，这些问题只有结合宏观生态学和宏观进化论的观点和工具才能回答。
The study of biodiversity started as a single unified field that spanned both ecology and evolution and both macro and micro phenomena. But over the 20th century, major trends drove ecology and evolution apart and pushed an emphasis towards the micro perspective in both disciplines. Macroecology and macroevolution re‐emerged as self‐consciously distinct fields in the 1970s and 1980s, but they remain largely separated from each other. Here, we argue that despite the challenges, it is worth working to combine macroecology and macroevolution. We present 25 fundamental questions about biodiversity that are answerable only with a mixture of the views and tools of both macroecology and macroevolution.
