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.
