High Altitude Tropical Biogeography provides research workers and
academics with a comprehensive overview of the biogeography of high
tropical mountains, covering the origin, ecology, and evolution of
plants and animals of this unique ecological zone. The climate in
the high altitude mountain regions of the tropics is cold,
resulting in flora and fauna which more closely resemble their
counterparts thousand of miles to the north or south than
comparable species in the lowland jungles only a few thousand
meters below. These ecological "islands," besides being very
important to the economies of the tropics, pose interesting
questions of physiological adaptation, biogeography, and
evolutionary relationships. With contributions from twenty-four
international specialists who have devoted years to the study of
cold mountain tropics, this book describes some of the most
characteristic plant and animal components of the ecosystem. No
other book of this scope and content exists on these tropical
biotas.
