Technological improvements have greatly increased the ability of marine scientists to collect and analyze data over large spatial scales, and the resultant insights attainable from interpreting those data vastly increase understanding of poplation dynamics, evolution and biogeography. Marine Metapopulations provides a synthesis of existing information and understanding, and frames the most important future directions and issues.

* First book to systematically apply metapopulation theory directly to marine systems
*Contributions from leading international ecologists and fisheries biologists
*Perspectives on a broad array of marine organisms and ecosystems, from coastal estuaries to shallow reefs to deep-sea hydrothermal vents
*Critical science for improved management of marine resources
*Paves the way for future research on large-scale spatial ecology of marine systems
Reviews
We chose this book for our weekly lab meetings. While we didn't get to all chapters, we concentrated on ones that would be more useful for our research.



This is an okay text but works better as a simple holder for specific chapters. It would be an excellent book for each chapter but to read the whole book it gets a little redundant at points. I will reference it, I'm sure, but doubt I'll go back to reading the other chapters.
