Island biogeography

Robert J. Whittaker, Jose Maria Fernandez-Palacios

"There is no other recent textbook devoted solely to island biogeography, and a synthesis of the many recent advances is now overdue. This second edition builds on the success and reputation of the first, documenting the recent developments in this exciting field and explaining how islands and habitat islands have been used as 'natural laboratories' in developing and testing ecological and evolutionary theories."--Jacket.
