Resumen:
This book provides both the conceptual
basis and technological tools that are necessary to identify and solve
problems related to biodiversity governance. The authors discuss
intriguing evolutionary questions, which involve the sometimes
surprising adaptive capacity of certain organisms to dwell in altered
and/or changing environments that apparently lost most of their
structure and functionality. Space and time heterogeneities are
considered in order to understand the patterns of distribution and
abundance of species and the various processes that mold them. The book
also discusses at which level?from genes to the landscape, including
individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems?men should
intervene in nature in order to prevent the loss of biodiversity.
