James Albert
James S. Albert is a professor of biology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Dr. Albert is an author of over 80 scientific papers on the evolution and diversity of fishes and is an expert in the systematics and biodiversity of Neotropical electric fishes. Dr. Albert and his colleagues have described 50 new species. He is co-editor with Roberto E. Reis of the book Historical Biogeography of Neotropical Freshwater Fishes, which explores the evolutionary forces underlying the formation of the Amazon and Neotropical fish faunas.The fish faunas of continental South and Central America constitute one of the greatest concentrations of aquatic biodiversity on Earth, consisting of about 10 percent of all living vertebrate species. "Historical Biogeography of Neotropical Freshwater Fishes" explores the evolutionary origins of this unique ecosystem. The chapters address central themes in the study of tropical biodiversity. What roles do ecological specialization, speciation, and extinction play in the formation of regional assemblages? How do dispersal barriers contribute to isolation and diversification? Focusing on whole faunas rather than individual taxonomic groups, this volume shows that the area's high regional diversity is not the result of recent diversification in lowland tropical rainforests. Rather, it is the product of species accumulating over tens of millions of years and across a continental area.
