{"product_id":"9780198526414","title":"The Structure and Dynamics of Geographic Ranges","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo species occurs everywhere. Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these distributions - the structure of the geographic ranges of species. \u003cbr\u003e Gaston is particularly concerned with the factors that determine the limits to a species' geographic range, how the sizes of those ranges vary, and patterns in that variation. Also considered are the distribution of individuals amongst those sites where a species does occur and what determines that distribution, and some of the practical implications of all these. \u003cbr\u003e Both in a pure and applied context, ecologists need a broader perspective on their subject matter than has historically prevailed. This book provides one such perspective. \u003cbr\u003e A must have book for any researchers and graduate students studying macroecology, biogeography and conservation biology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016546173168,"sku":"9780198526414","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780198526414_p0.jpg?v=1763666673","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198526414","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
