For convenience, biogeographers have recognized two research traditions: ecological biogeography and historical biogeography. This book makes sense of the profound revolution that historical biogeography has undergone in the last two decades, and of the resulting confusion over its foundations, basic concepts, methods, and relationships to other disciplines of comparative biology. Using case studies, the authors explain and illustrate the fundamentals and the most frequently used methods of this discipline. They show the reader how to tell when a historical biogeographic approach is called for, how to decide what kind of data to collect, how to choose the best method for the problem at hand, how to perform the necessary calculations, how to choose and apply a computer program, and how to interpret results. 606 $aBiogeography$xHistory 615 0$aBiogeography$xHistory. 676 $a578/.09 686 $aRB 10486$2rvk 700 $aCrisci$b Jorge Victor$0622656 701 $aKatinas$b Liliana$0738013 701 $aPosadas$b Paula$01813146 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956487203321 996 $aHistorical biogeography$94365941 997 $aUNINA
