It offers insight into the multidisciplinary nature of the field, presenting a sound historical base, up-to-date coverage, and a look at the latest controversies. The authors evaluate conflicting theories and provide a reasoned judgment as to which is preferable. In a new chapter the authors examine marine biogeography, so that biologists can compare and analyze the data, patterns and problems arising from continental, marine and island biogeography"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Biogeography $v Textbooks. 700 1 $a Moore, Peter D. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005013826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A53ECDA26A8B11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
