Description
Summary:The Monkey's Voyage persuades readers to marvel at the history of biogeography, its major and minor exponents, the challenges it has gone through and the current objectives. Alan de Queiroz embarks on the explanation of the reasons why the vicariance became unquestionable and his mission is to argue why the findings that contradict it tend to have a bad reputation. For example, long-distance dispersion. The compilation of this book vindicates the integrative vision of biogeography. However, it must be recognized that as well as physiognomic explanations, possible integrative theories can also be enriched with behavioural explanations.
