Summary: | This book focuses on rarity, its spatial and temporal dynamics, causes, and interaction with conservation. Although they can be viewed from many different perspectives, rare species are of particular concern toconservationists because they tend to have a greater probability of extinction. This book therefore identifies a number of important issues both heuristic and practical. |
