As a review of the status of biogeography in the West Indies in the 1980s, this first edition of Biogeography of the West Past, Present, and Future provides a synthesis of our current knowledge of the systematics and distribution of major plant and animal groups in the Caribbean basin. The authors use the broadest possible interpretations of the concepts of biogeography, consider anthropological and geological factors, and discuss the conservation of endemic species. Drawing together contributions from the leading experts in biogeography and biodiversity, this book introduces new patterns and developments that add to our understanding of how plants and animals are dispersed throughout the region. Unique in its inclusion of a wide variety of organisms and in its coordination of scientific data and conservation strategies, Biogeography of the West Indies provides the only encyclopedic discussion available on the biogeography of the region. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; xvii, 878 pages.
