商品描述

Through nine successful editions, and for over 45 years, Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the varied scientific disciplines and research that are essential to understanding the subject. The text, noted for its clear and engaging style of writing, has been praised for its solid background in historical biogeography and basic biology, that is enhanced and illuminated by discussions of current research.

This new edition incorporates the exciting changes of the recent years and presents a thoughtful exploration of the research and controversies that have transformed our understanding of the biogeography of the world. New themes and topics in this tenth edition include:

Next generation genetic technologies and their use in historical biogeography, phylogeography and population genomics
Biogeographical databases and biodiversity information systems, which are becoming increasingly important for biogeographical research
An introduction to functional biogeography and its applications to community assembly, diversity gradients and the analysis of ecosystem functioning
Updated case studies focusing on island biogeography, using the latest phylogenetic studies

Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach reveals how the patterns of life that we see today have been created by the two great Engines of the Planet: the Geological Engine, plate tectonics, which alters the conditions of life on the planet, and the Biological Engine, evolution, which responds to these changes by creating new forms and patterns of life.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

透過九個成功的版本，並且超過 45 年的時間，生物地理學：生態與進化的觀點 提供了對於理解該主題所需的各種科學學科和研究的徹底且全面的探索。這本書以其清晰且引人入勝的寫作風格而聞名，並因其在歷史生物地理學和基礎生物學方面的堅實背景而受到讚譽，這些背景透過當前研究的討論得到了增強和闡明。

這一新版納入了近年來令人興奮的變化，並對改變我們對世界生物地理學理解的研究和爭議進行了深思熟慮的探索。本第十版的新主題和話題包括：

下一代基因技術及其在歷史生物地理學、系譜地理學和族群基因組學中的應用

生物地理數據庫和生物多樣性信息系統，這些系統在生物地理研究中變得越來越重要

功能性生物地理學的介紹及其在社群組成、多樣性梯度和生態系統功能分析中的應用

專注於島嶼生物地理學的更新案例研究，使用最新的系譜學研究

生物地理學：生態與進化的觀點 揭示了我們今天所見的生命模式是如何由地球的兩大引擎創造的：地質引擎，即板塊構造，改變了地球上的生命條件；以及生物引擎，即進化，對這些變化作出反應，創造出新的生命形式和模式。
