Quaternary Ecology, Evolution, and Biogeography offers an
introduction to the study of the ecological and evolutionary
processes that have shaped our present biosphere under the
influence of glacial-interglacial cycles. Written by an ecologist
with paleoecological expertise, this book reviews the climactic
changes that have occurred during the last 2.6 million years, along
with the responses of organisms and ecosystems. It offers an
understanding of the evolutionary origin of extant biodiversity,
its biogeographical patterns, and the composition of modern
ecological communities. In addition, it explores human evolution
and the influence of our activities on the biosphere, especially in
the last millennia. This book offers the latest information on how
studying the past can contribute to our understanding of present
climate issues for a better future, and is an ideal resource for
researchers and students in the natural sciences.
