Marine Metapopulations

Klappentext Marine Metapopulations includes chapters by some of the world's foremost marine scientists, and presents case studies that demonstrate useful application of metapopulation theory as well as discussing metapopulation ecology in the context of genetics and evolution, community ecology, conservation and general metapopulation theory. Using ideas and data from many sources, the book examines ways in which the study of Metapopulations can enhance marine ecology - and ways in which marine ecology may enrich the field of metapopulation theory. Zusammenfassung Systematically applies metapopulation theory directly to marine systems. This work gives perspectives on various marine organisms and ecosystems! from coastal estuaries to shallow reefs to deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
