Review
This edited book delivers exactly what it says in the title: an up-to-date account of the state of play of measuring and assessing biodiversity ... the intended target audience includes graduate students and advanced researchers and practitioners in the world of conservation ... anyone interested in the serious study of biodiversity should have a copy. (Robert H. Marrs, Biological Conservation)
probably the best single-volume book on biodiversity available to date. (Bulletin of the European Dry Grassland Group)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Biological Diversity provides an up to date, authoritative review of the methods of measuring and assessing biological diversity, together with their application. The book's emphasis is on quantifying the variety, abundance, and occurrence of taxa, and on providing objective and clear guidance for both scientists and managers. This is a fast-moving field and one that is the focus of intense research interest. However the rapid development of new methods,the inconsistent and sometimes confusing application of old ones, and the lack of consensus in the literature about the best approach, means that there is a real need for a current synthesis.Biological Diversity covers fundamental measurement issues such as sampling, re-examines familiar diversity metrics (including species richness, diversity statistics, and estimates of spatial and temporal turnover), discusses species abundance distributions and how best to fit them, explores species occurrence and the spatial structure of biodiversity, and investigates alternative approaches used to assess trait, phylogenetic, and genetic diversity. The final section of thebook turns to a selection of contemporary challenges such as measuring microbial diversity, evaluating the impact of disturbance, assessing biodiversity in managed landscapes, measuring diversity in theimperfect fossil record, and using species density estimates in management and conservation. This research level text provides an up-to-date, authoritative review of the methods of measuring biological diversity, as well as the application of these methods.
