Biogeography : an ecological approach by Griffin, Neil (EDT);
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of plant and animal species on Earth over a period of time. It has two branches, which are phytogeography and zoogeography. This field contributes essential knowledge about the composition of various ecosystems as well as the evolutionary processes and migratory patterns occurring within species over time. Habitat adaptation is an important phenomenon that all living organisms exhibit. Conservation and protection of vulnerable regions is vital for the survival of the various species found on our planet. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on biogeography. For all readers who are interested in this subject, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.

An introduction to applied biogeography / by Spellerberg, Ian F.(CARDINAL)317923; Sawyer, John W. D.(John William David),1968-2015.(CARDINAL)334203;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Foreword / Tony Whitten -- 1. Biogeography: the nature of the subject, its history and its applications -- 2. Patterns of distribution and biogeographical classifications -- 3. Islands -- 4. Geological, evolutionary and human impacts on biogeography -- 5. Ecological patterns and types of species distribution -- 6. Biogeographical information: collection, retrieval and application -- 7. Habitat fragmentation -- 8. Biogeography of linear landscape features -- 9. Future developments."Biogeography is about the geographical distribution, both past and present, of plants, animals and other organisms. Ian Spellerberg and John Sawyer bring a modern and new approach to an old subject. Throughout the text the applications of biogeography in conservation management, economic production, environmental assessment, sustainable use of resources, landscape planning and public health are emphasised. Applications of island biogeography in conservation are critically appraised, analysis of biogeographical data is explained, the concept of wildlife corridors is questioned and the role of humans and their cultures in biogeography is explored."--Jacket.
