It is becoming clear that the Mediterranean region is one of the "hottest" of the biodiversity hotspots on the planet. There is also an increasing concern for the conservation, adaptive management, and restoration of the unique natural ecosystems and cultural landscapes that characterize this area. This new work builds on the success and reputation of the first edition, although the text has been updated and expanded to document recent changes to biodiversity, newecological and evolutionary insights, and the challenges for the future.
