  text: 'The ability of species to migrate that has interested ecologists for many
    years. Now that so many species and ecosystems face major environmental change,
    the ability of species to adapt to these changes by dispersing, migrating, or
    moving between different patches of habitat can be crucial to ensuring their survivial.
    This book provides a timely and wide-ranging overview of the study of dispersal
    and incorporates much of the latest research. The causes, mechanisms, and consequences
    of dispersal at the individual, population, species and community levels are considered.
    The potential of new techniques and models for studying dispersal, drawn from
    molecular biology and demography, is also explored. Perspectives and insights
    are offered from the fields of evolution, conservation biology and genetics. Throughout
    the book, theoretical approaches are combined with empirical data, and care has
    been taken to include examples from as wide a range of species as possible. '
