Biogeography of microscopic organisms : is everything small everywhere? /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Bringing together the viewpoints of leading experts in taxonomy, ecology and biogeography of different taxa, this book synthesises discussion surrounding the so-called 'everything is everywhere' hypothesis. It addresses the processes that generate spatial patterns of diversity and biogeogr...
