This hugely welcome update to "Ecological Diversity and its Measurement" provides practical means of quantifying and interpreting patterns of ecological diversity, focusing on the measurement and estimation of species richness and abundance. It also explores the concept of ecological diversity, bringing some fresh thinking to a field beset by contradictory theories.
The book includes discussion of the meaning of community in the context of ecological diversity, and the distribution of diversity amongst taxa. It highlights advances in measurement since its predecessor, e.g. species richness estimation, the application of measures of diversity to conservation and environmental management, and the development of sampling techniques.
Difficult concepts are explained in a straightforward manner, making the book accessible to undergraduates, graduates and researchers alike. Included are worked examples of key methods, and advice on the use of available computer packages.
