Hampered by a confusing plethora of approaches and methods,
biogeography is often treated as an adjunct to other areas of
study. The first book to fully define this rapidly emerging
subdiscipline, Biogeography in a Changing World elucidates the
principles of biogeography and paves the way for its evolution into
a stand-alone field. Drawing on contributions from leading
proponents of differing methods within biogeography, the book
clearly defines the differing, sometimes conflicting, perspectives
in the field and their correspondingly different methodological
approaches. This gives readers the opportunity to refocus on a
range of issues including the role of biological processes such as
vicariance, dispersal and extinction in biogeographical
explanation, the possibility of biogeographical pattern, and the
role of geological reconstructions in biogeographic explanation.
The book also explores the discipline's current relationship with
other disciplines and discusses potential developments.
