First sentence: The 1949 publication of what is affectionately referred to as "The Great APPES" (i.e., Principles of Animal Ecology, by Allee et al.), the close follow-up by Adrewartha and Birch (1954), as well as the magnum opus of field zoogeographer, Darlington (1957), brought the era of descriptive field ecology and matters of distribution and abundance of species to an honorable close, at least in The United States.
