Symposium on Island Biogeography of Mammals

Description:

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, Vol. 28, Nos. 1-2.

A collection of 10 scientific papers on the biogeography of island mammals, examining patterns of species diversity, colonisation, extinction and speciation in relation to island size, isolation and geological history. Includes important contributions by L.R. Heaney on the mammalian faunas of Southeast Asia, B.D. Patterson and W. Atmar on nested subsets in island communities, and T.E. Lawlor on comparative mammalian biogeography. An important contribution to the development of modern island biogeography, with particular reference to the evolutionary history and conservation of insular mammal faunas.
