Evolutionary and ecological approaches to biodiversity

Edited by Michael E. Hochberg, this collection maps biodiversity research across multiple scales and timeframes. It connects evidence from fossils and molecular phylogenies with questions about how species persist in populations, communities, and ecosystems. The volume combines broad subject overviews with case studies and methodological discussions, giving its topic both historical depth and practical research framing. Published in 1996, it documents the questions and approaches shaping biodiversity scholarship at that point, including the origins of biological diversity and the ecological patterns associated with its maintenance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students studying biodiversity, evolution, or ecology
  • Researchers seeking interdisciplinary perspectives on species diversity
  • Zoo and botanical garden staff interested in biodiversity research

Book overview

This book is a unique collection of evolutionary and ecological perspectives in the study of biodiversity. The book traces past landmarks, current questions, and future trends in biodiversity research ranging from the evaluation of the fossil record and molecular phylogenies in looking at the genesis of diversity to population, community, and ecosystem-level approaches in understanding patterns of species persistence. Subject reviews, case studies, and discussions of techniques are combined to produce a state-of-the-art volume that will be welcomed by students and researchers in fields related to biodiversity, as well as staffs of zoos and botanical gardens.
