Systematics, Ecology, and the Biodiversity Crisis

by Niles Eldredge

Book Overview

Which species can be saved, when all cannot? This book provides the tools for finding the answers to the current biodiversity crisis, based on systematic reasoning. Systematists are in a position to identify critical areas of endemism, and additional criteria for the identification of habitats and species most urgently in need of protection.
