Springer Book Archives
`This advanced work should be studied by wildlife biologists,
conservation biologists, and ecologists.'
Choice
`Ecologists are fortunate to have such a solid foundation for the
ideas and patterns that contribute to our notions and
interpretations of rarity.'
Ecology
`...few population biologists or conservation ecologists can afford
not to have this book to hand. A book on rarity is itself a rarity,
and we should thank the author and publisher for noticing and
partially filling a gap in the literature.'
Biodiversity Letters
`Specially welcome is this book by an acknowledged expert in the
field... it all adds up to a remarkably successful synthesis that
should appeal to both theoretical biologists in their laboratories
and conservation biologists on the ground.'
