Drawing upon such disparate fields as biology, geology, socio- economics, climatology, and philosophy, biogeography takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the origins and maintenance of global patterns of biodiversity. Containing 18 contributions from international scholars, this text covers five main subdisciplines of biogeography: plate tectonics and paleobiogeography; phylogeography and diversification; diversity gradients; marine biogeography; and conservation biogeography. The material in this volume is based upon plenary papers presented at the 2003 inaugural meeting of the International Biogeography Society. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The period between 1975 and 2000 was one of fundamental change in historical biogeography, island biogeography, and marine biogeography, and saw the emergence of new fields, including phylogeography and macroecology, as well as applications of biogeography for conserving biological diversity

Developed & published in association with the International Biogeography Society, this book concentrates on advances in historical biogeography, island biogeography & marine biogeography during the past quarter of a century

For centuries, the geography at nature has in many ways served as a Rosetta Stone, providing key insights into the many mysteries of what we now call biological diversity.
