Reviews

'The advantages of this volume are the well-written reviews that make a great introduction to the field, but also offer thought-provoking ideas to those cognisant with the subject. This book offers a valuable inventory of what we know and contains enough for the careful reader to identify profitable avenues for future research.'
Steve J. Hall, The Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department, Trends in Ecology & Evolution, September 1992, Vol. 7, No. 9
