Neotropical Biogeography - Juan J Morrone

. .

Résumé :
Written by an international authority, Neotropical Biogeography: Bioregionalization and Evolution presents the most comprehensive single-source treatment of the Neotropical region based on an evolutionary biogeographic approach. The book will authoritatively describe and discuss patterns of relationships and patterns of biotic distributions.? The aim of this reference book is to provide a regionalization that can be used by graduate students, researchers, and other professionals concerned with understanding and describing biogeographic patterns of the distribution of plants and animals in the areas of? Neotropical region - Mexican, Antillean, Brazilian, Chacoan, and South American....
