Description: "The Arctic Biodiversity Workshop had two distinct programs. The first was to determine interest and need for a biodiversity study in the Arctic, while the second discussed the joining of the longitudinal and latitudinal NaGISA transects with a transect that would cross the North Pacific/Bering Sea at the Aleutian Islands."--P. 1.
Notes: Seventeen papers presented at an international workshop on Arctic biodiversity, held in April, 2003, in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
