Editorial Reviews
Review
"The ability of species to migrate and disperse is a trait that has interested ecologists for many years. This work provides an overview of the study of dispersal and incorporates much of the latest research in the field. It considers the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of dispersal at the
individual, population, species, and community levels, and explores the potential of new techniques and models for studying dispersal, drawn from molecular biology and demography. Theoretical approaches are combined with empirical data, and examples are given from a wide range of species. Clobert is
affiliated with the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie."--SciTech Book News
"The ability of species to migrate and disperse is a trait that has interested ecologists for many years. Now that so many species and ecosystems face major environmental threats from habitat fragmentation and global climate change, the ability of species to adapt to these changes by dispersing,
migrating, or moving between different patches of habitat can be crucial to ensuring their survival. This book provides a timely and wide-ranging overview of the study of dispersal and incorporates much of the latest research. The causes, mechanisms, and consequences of dispersal at the individual,
population, species and community levels are considered. ... Perspectives and insights are offered from the fields of evolution, conservation biology and genetics. Throughout the book, theoretical approaches are combined with empirical data, and care has been taken to include examples from as wide a
range of species as possible."--Ethology, Ecology, Evolution
"[A]nyone interested in the population biology or genetic consequences of dispersal should have a copy nearby for reference. ... Dispersal covers a lot of ground ..."--Ecology
