Historical Biogeography : An Introduction

  • Attribution

    Jorge V. Crisci, Liliana Katinas, Paula Posadas

  • Publication Details

    Book, Harvard University Press, 2003

  • Description

    Though biogeography may be simply defined–the study of the geographic distributions of organisms–the subject itself is extraordinarily complex, involving a range of scientific disciplines and a bewildering diversity of approaches. They show the reader how to tell when a historical biogeographic approach is called for, how to decide what kind of data to collect, how to choose the best method for the problem at hand, how to perform the necessary calculations, how to choose and apply a computer program, and how to interpret results.
