Metapopulation Ecology presents a comprehensive synthesis of current research in this rapidly expanding area of population biology, from an author who is world-famous for his ground-breaking work on metapopulations. It encompasses both the essential theory of metapopulations and a wide range of empirical studies - including the author's own unique research on the metapopulation biology of the Glanville fritillary butterfly - and includes discussion of practical applications to conservation biology. One of the hottest areas in ecology today, Metapopulation Biology is an important, state-of-the-art review of the field, and should have enormous impact.
