Theory of Island Biogeography

"MacArthur and Wilson's is arguably the most influential book in biogeography in the last hundred years. With its emphasis on on-going processes of colonization and extinction, it provided a new framework to explain patterns in species diversity and served as a counterpoint to hypotheses relying on chance and solitary historical events. Many of the antecedents for what we now call conservation biology, invasion biology, and landscape ecology had their origins here."--Ted Case, University of California, San DiegoMacArthur, Robert H. is the author of 'Theory of Island Biogeography' with ISBN 9780691088365 and ISBN 0691088365.
