Résumé :
|
This book takes a broad geographical perspective to the problème of describing patterns of biological populations. It discusses some methods and statistical techniques that can be used to analyse spatial patterns in geographical populations, incorporating ideas from fractal geometry to develop measures of geographical range fragmentation. Whilst much attention has been focused in the past at very local spatial scales, this book allows consideration of all the populations of a species across all of its geographical range. The patterns that emerge from studies at this level may well raise many important questions about how the earth's ecosystems operate on large scales, and will allow questions about the conservation of biodiversity to be considered in a new light.
