Taxonomic tapestries : the threads of evolutionary, behavioural and conservation research /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

This volume explores the complexity, diversity and interwoven nature of taxonomic pursuits within the context of explorations of humans and related species. It also pays tribute to Professor Colin Groves, whose work has had an enormous impact on this field. Recent research into that somewhat unique...
