Description
This collection of specially commissioned articles looks at fragmented habitats, bringing together recent theoretical advances and empirical
studies applying the metapopulation approach. Several chapters closely integrate ecology with genetics and evolutionary biology, and
others illustrate how metapopulation concepts and models can be applied to answer questions about conservation, epidemiology, and speciation.
The extensive coverage of theory from highly regarded scientists and the many substantive applications in this one-of-a-kind work
make it invaluable to graduate students and researchers in a wide range of disciplines.
Audience:
Population geneticists, theoretical ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and anyone interested in structure of populations. Researchers,
faculty and graduate students in these and related disciplines. Libraries at institutions with strong programs in population biology,
ecology and genetics.
