Dr. Soling obtained his Ph.D. from University College, Cardiff, Wales, and completed postdoctoral research at Florida State University. It was while he was teaching ecology at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad that the idea for this book was conceived.

He has published many scientific papers in journals such as Ecology, Oikos, and Oecologia and was an editor for Oecologia.
