Description
Foundations of Biogeography provides facsimile reprints of seventy-two works that have proven fundamental to the development of the field.
From classics by Georges-Louis LeClerc Compte de Buffon, Alexander von Humboldt, and Charles Darwin to equally seminal contributions by Ernst Mayr, Robert MacArthur, and E.
O. Wilson, these papers and book excerpts not only reveal biogeography's historical roots but also trace its theoretical and empirical development.
Selected and introduced by leading biogeographers, the articles cover a wide variety of taxonomic groups, habitat types, and geographic regions.
Foundations of Biogeography will be an ideal introduction to the field for beginning students and an essential reference for established scholars of biogeography, ecology, and evolution.
