Indeed, the majority are absent from most places and where they do occur they are usually quite rare. This text discusses the structure of these distributions, especially the factors that determine geographic range and related information.Oxford series in ecology and evolution.BiogeographyNatural historyBiogeography.Natural history.577Gaston Kevin J443106MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954617803321Structure and dynamics of geographic ranges86877UNINA
