Recursos en línea: Resumen: Biological Diversity provides an up to date, authoritative review of the methods of measuring and assessing biological diversity, together with their application. The book´s emphasis is on quantifying the variety, abundance, and occurrence of taxa, and on providing objective and clear guidance for both scientists and managers. This is a fast-moving field and one that is the focus of intense research interest. However the rapid development of new methods, the inconsistent and sometimes confusing application of old ones, and the lack of consensus in the literature about the best approach, means that there is a real need for a current synthesis.
