2003réf. 014860Oxford University Press 2003. Illustrated with maps and charts octavo pp xii 266 paperback a very good copy virtually as new. No 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. 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. 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. A must have book for any researchers and graduate students studying macroecology biogeography and conservation biology. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Oxford University Press Paperback

2019réf. 0147122019. NEW. French text edition. Illustrated quarto pp 216 paperback a very good new copy. PRINTING WAS LIMITED TO 200 COPIES. La Guinée-Conakry possède l'une des plus grandes diversités végétales d'Afrique subsaharienne et fait partie de l'écorégion forestière de la Haute Guinée Burgess et al 2004; WWF 2000 et du point chaud de la biodiversité des forêts guinéennes et de l'Afrique de l'ouest CEPF 2015. . Cette diversité est due en partie aux chaînes montagneuses du Fouta Djalon et des monts Loma-Man et Nimba. Ces forêts et prairies d'altitude ont entraîné des espèces endémiques et des schémas de distribution intéressants. Il y a de grandes étendues de forêts de plaine en Guinée Forestière Guinée forestière et certaines zones en Guinée Maritime Guinée côtière bien que la plupart de ces forêts soient très fragmentées et petites moins de 1 km2 la plus grande zone intacte se trouvant autour de la Massif du Kounounkan dans la préfecture de Forécariah. La Guinée est un important fournisseur de bauxite dans le monde et dispose de réserves importantes de minerai de fer à haute teneur. Elle possède également de petites réserves de diamants dor et duranium. En conséquence de vastes zones dexploitation minière à ciel ouvert existent dans le pays et la pression sur les habitats et la végétation augmente avec la nécessité de générer des revenus dans le pays; cela s'ajoute à l'agriculture non durable sur brûlis et à la croissance démographique. Déjà 35 des espèces de plantes les plus rares de Guinée sont peut-être éteintes et 25 de ces espèces sont ou étaient uniques au monde dans l'ensemble de la Guinée. First Edition. Paperback. New.

2019réf. 0147112019. NEW. Illustrated quarto pp 216 paperback a very good new copy. PRINTING WAS LIMITED TO 100 COPIES. Guinea-Conakry has one of the highest plant diversities in Sub-Saharan West Africa and is part of the Upper Guinean Forest ecoregion Burgess et al 2004; WWF 2000 and the Guinean Forests of West Africa biodiversity hotspot CEPF 2015. This diversity is due in part to the highland ranges of the Fouta Djalon and Loma-Man and Nimba mountains. These high altitude forests and grasslands have resulted in endemic species and interesting distribution patterns. There are large areas of lowland forest in Guinée Forestière Forest Guinea and some areas in Guinée Maritime Coastal Guinea though most of these forests are highly fragmented and small less than 1 km2 the largest intact area is found around the Kounounkan massif in Forécariah Prefecture. Guinea is a major supplier of the worlds bauxite and has significant reserves of high grade iron ore it also has small reserves of diamonds gold and uranium. As a result large areas of open cast mining exist in the country and pressure on habitats and vegetation are increasing with the need to bring revenue into the country; this is in addition to unsustainable slash and burn agriculture and a growing population. Already 35 of Guinea's rarest plant species are possibly extinct and 25 of these species are or were globally unique to Guinea. First Edition. Paperback. New. Paperback
