Cladistic Biogeography: Interpreting Patterns of Plant and Animal Distributions (Oxford Biogeography Series)

By Christopher J. Humphries and Lynne R. Parenti

Cladistic biogeography uses the distribution patterns of species to study their historical and evolutionary relationships. Revised extensively to reflect new research, this book is a concise exposition of the history, methods, and current applications in this field. The first edition, published in 1986, received excellent reviews and was widely used as a textbook. This new edition should prove equally popular. It draws on a wide range of animals and plants, from marine, terrestrial, and freshwater habitats, and incorporates the latest advances in this dynamic field.
