Grafiken, Tabell, s/w-Fotos. | WG: Buch | | Islands provide us with natural laboratories in developing theories and models to understand how evolution works. Island Biogeography is a new textbook, accessible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students from geography and the life sciences. The first low-level textbook to be written on the topic since 1981, it provides a much needed synthesis of recent developments across the discipline, linking current theoretical debates on island evolution and ecology with applied island ecology and its uses in conservation. Wide-ranging, authoritative, and accessible, this is a truly up-to-date review of a fascinating and important subject in evolution and ecology. | [E] | |
