Quaternary Ecology, Evolution, and Biogeography offers an introduction to the study
of the ecological and evolutionary processes that have shaped our present biosphere
under the influence of glacial-interglacial cycles. Written by an ecologist with paleoecological
expertise, this book reviews the climactic changes that have occurred during the last
2.6 million years, along with the responses of organisms and ecosystems. It offers
an understanding of the evolutionary origin of extant biodiversity, its biogeographical
patterns, and the composition of modern ecological communities. In addition, it explores
human evolution and the influence of our activities on the biosphere, especially in
the last millennia.
