The authors discuss intriguing evolutionary questions, which involve the sometimes surprising adaptive capacity of certain organisms to dwell in altered and/or changing environments that apparently lost most of their structure and functionality. Space and time heterogeneities are considered in order to understand the patterns of distribution and abundance of species and the various processes that mold them. The book also discusses at which levelfrom genes to the landscape, including individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystemsmen should intervene in nature in order to prevent the loss of biodiversity UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-54751-5 UR - http://pmt-eu.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/46KIB_INST/46KIB_INST_services_page?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&rft.mms_id=9941847402336 UR - http://sfxeu11.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/sfxgub?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/sfxit.com:opac_856&url_ctx_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&sfx.ignore_date_threshold=1&rft.object_id=3710000000114415&svc_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:sch_svc& UR - http://link.sub.su.se/sfxsub?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/sfxit.com:opac_856&url_ctx_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&sfx.ignore_date_threshold=1&rft.object_id=3710000000114415&svc_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:sch_svc& UR - http://sfxeu11.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/sfxslub?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/sfxit.com:opac_856&url_ctx_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&sfx.ignore_date_threshold=1&rft.object_id=3710000000114415&svc_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:sch_svc& UR - http://ludwig.lub.lu.se/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-54751-5 UR - http://ludwig.lub.lu.se/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-642-54751-5 UR - https://login.e.bibl.liu.se/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-642-54751-5 UR - http://pmt-eu.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/46KTH/46KTH_services_page?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&rft.mms_id=99284679002456 ER -
