The Biology of Polar Regions
THE BIOLOGY OF HABITATS SERIES
This attractive series of concise, affordable texts provides an integrated
overview of the design, physiology, and ecology of the biota in a given habi-
tat, set in the context of the physical environment. Each book describes
practical aspects of working within the habitat, detailing the sorts of stud-
ies which are possible. Management and conservation issues are also
included. The series is intended for naturalists, students studying biological
or environmental science, those beginning independent research, and
professional biologists embarking on research in a new habitat.
