Description
Habitat destruction has left many landscapes increasingly fragmented. These isolated populations, or metapopulations, are in a constant
state of change-growing, shrinking, disappearing, and reappearing. This unique volume brings together an international team of ecologists,
geneticists, and evolutionary biologists who provide a comprehensive review of metapopulations. This book will provide fundamental reading
for anyone studying the spatial dynamics of populations.
This book is an essential reference for anyone who is interested in conservation
and population dynamics.
