"To unravel the complex shared history of the Earth and its life forms, biogeographers
analyze patterns of biodiversity, species distribution, and geological history. So
far, the field of biogeography has been fragmented into divergent systematic and evolutionary
approaches, with no overarching or unifying research theme or method. In this text,
Lynne Parenti and Malte Ebach address this discord and outline comparative tools to
unify biogeography. Rooted in phylogenetic systematics, this comparative biogeographic
approach offers a comprehensive empirical framework for discovering and deciphering
the patterns and processes of the distribution of life on Earth. The authors cover
biogeography from its fundamental ideas to the most effective ways to implement them.
Real-life examples illustrate concepts and problems, including the first comparative
biogeographical analysis of the Indo-West Pacific, an introduction to biogeographical
concepts rooted in the earth sciences, and the integration of phylogeny, evolution
and earth history." -- Publisher's description
