Description and Table of Contents
Description
Biogeography focuses on the distribution of plants and animals at different taxonomic levels, past and present. It also places emphasis on the ecological character of world vegetation types, and on the evolving relationship between humans and their environment. Panbiogeography describes a new synthesis of current research, with the authors showing how geographical patterns of animal and plant distribution contribute directly to understanding and interpreting evolutionary history.
