This clearly written, nontechnical introduction to cladistic biogeography treats earth history and biohistory as interdependent and attempts to explain patterns of plant and animal distribution through a systematic reconstruction of different groups of organisms found in similar areas. Emphasizing an historical approach, the authors cover the methodology, the applications, and the potential value of cladistic biogeography in developing a new view of the organic world.

<p>Cladistic biogeography uses the distribution patterns of species to study their historical and evolutionary relationships. Revised extensively to reflect new research, this book is a concise exposition of the history, methods, and current applications in this field. The first edition, published in 1986, received excellent reviews and was widely used as a textbook. This new edition should prove equally popular. It draws on a wide range of animals and plants, from marine, terrestrial, and freshwater habitats, and incorporates the latest advances in this dynamic field.<br></p>
