In recent years the neotropics have been more and more frequently visited by those interested in rain forests and the exotic birds, mammals, insects, and plants of these ecosystems. At the same time scientific knowledge of the neotropics has bourgeoned. A primer for the student and for the scientific amateur, this well-illustrated volume presents a general and up-to-date view of some of the world's most complex natural environments. In addition, it provides the neotropical specialist with a broad look at the entire field of neotropical biology". Book about Ecosystems. Illustrations by Andrea S. Lejeune. Locale: Latin America; Tropics. (Natural History, Animals, Biology, Conservation, Ecology, Environment, Fauna, Flora, Natural History, Plants).
