Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are ideal places for unique species to evolve, but they are also places of concentrated extinction. Consequently, they are widely studied by ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and conservationists.This accessible textbook builds on the success and reputation of itspredecessors, documenting the recent advances in this exciting field and explaining how islands have contributed to both theory development and testing. In addition, the book describes the main processes ofisland formation, subsequent dynamics, and eventual demise, explaining the relevance of island environmental history to island biogeography. The authors demonstrate the significance of islands as hotspots of biodiversity and of prehistoric and historic anthropogenic extinction. Since island species continue to feature disproportionally in the lists of threatened species today, the book examines both the chief threats to their persistence and some of the mitigation measures that can be put inplay, with conservation strategies specifically tailored to islands. A definitive new review of the island biogeography literature, explaining how islands have been used as natural laboratories in developing and testing ecological and evolutionary theories. Examines the chief threats to island species together with conservation strategies specifically tailored to islands. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
