Frontiers
of Biogeography is a new series of integrative and interdisciplinary volumes published
and developed in association with the International
Biogeography Society. Each book in the series will focus
on an emerging area of research, and will either present new syntheses,
or review and summarize the state of the art, the most significant advances
and most promising directions for future research on the geographic variation
of nature. Volumes will be either integrative collections on emerging
themes in biogeography, or insightful and synthetic contributions from
individual, distinguished biographers. The series is aimed at a
broad readership of graduate students, biogeographers and other researchers
who study the geography of nature, including ecologists, evolutionary
biologists, paleontologists and conservation biologists.
The
first volume in this series, Frontiers of Biogeography:
New Directions in the Geography of Nature, was published by Sinauer
Associates, Inc., (http://www.sinauer.com/)
and is comprised of five sections plus a general introduction to the volume
and a preface to the series by the editors. The five sections focus on the
themes of the five symposia presented at the inaugural IBS meetings in January
of 2003.
