Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these distributions - the structure of the geographic ranges of species. Gaston is particularly concerned with the factors that determine the limits to a species' geographic range, how the sizes of those ra 410 0$aOxford series in ecology and evolution. 606 $aBiogeography 606 $aNatural history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiogeography. 615 0$aNatural history. 676 $a577 700 $aGaston$b Kevin J$0443106 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452284903321 996 $aStructure and dynamics of geographic ranges$986877 997 $aUNINA
