Reviews
I think it is splendid; it is the sort of short and concise text which students remember for a long time and which they hang on to long after the course is passed. Bernt Walther, Department of Fisheries and Marine Biology, University of Bergen I would have loved to have such a book in this phase of my scientific career. Mariet Hefting, Institute of Environmental Biology, Utrecht University A well-presented, clearly argued, concise and witty introduction to one of the most important topics in the life sciences. Nick Royle, School of Biosciences, Exeter University
