The importance of the study of biodiversity is widely recognized, and today many scientists are publishing exciting research in the field. This book offers the very latest work on key topics from experts around the world. The first part engages with topics including cell surface display, and the implications of wood collecting for invertebrate diversity. Part two examines the diversity of ecosystems, and ranges across topics including stable isotope research, and rangelands in arid ecosystems. In part three, diversity enrichment is in focus. The contributors examine topics including top-predators as biodiversity regulators, tree species diversity in Malaysia and image processing for pollen classification. Finally, part four offers case studies on evolution and spatial distribution in biodiversity processes. Studies are presented on issues including assessment of the biodiversity of Italian olives, spatial patterns of phytodiversity, and mycoflora and biodiversity in vineyard eco-systems. This forward-looking book is an excellent resource for researchers and students seeking the latest knowledge and inspiration for their work.
