Synopsis
Case, Cody, and Ezcurra are very highly respected ecologists and field biologists. The first edition of this book, nearly 20 years ago, sold about 5000 copies, and has been out of print for some years. Long-term studies have continued, giving a much richer understanding of the underlying processes of population dynamics and succession, and the impact of El Ni^d~no and other climactic events on these ecosystems. Island biogeography remains the classic laboratory for speciation and adaptive evolution. There is growing ecotourism in the area, and the book should be of strong interest to conservation biologists as well as to ecologists and evolutionary biologists more generally., This updated and expanded A New Island Biogeography of the Sea of Cortés , first published nearly 20 years ago, integrates new and broader studies encompassing more taxa and more complete island coverage. The present synthesis provides a basis for further research and exploration in upcoming years of the biologically fascinating Sea of Cortés region. The Gulf region is increasingly being exploited, for its natural resources by way of marine fisheries, and for its stunning natural beauty by way of a burgeoning tourism industry. Further, the region's human population is increasing apace. It is appropriate, therefore, that this volume discusses these evolving circumstances, and the efforts of the Mexican government to regulate and manage them. The new Biogeography includes a section on the conservation issues in the Sea of Cortés, past accomplishments and conservation needs as yet outstanding. This book should be of strong interest to conservation biologists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists more generally., This updated and expanded A New Island Biogeography of the Sea of Cortés, first published nearly 20 years ago, integrates new and broader studies encompassing more taxa and more complete island coverage.
