Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 640 pages. Molecular Evolution and Adaptive Radiation surveys recent advances in the stu dy of adaptive radiation by bringing together a set of international experts inv estigating a wide range of organisms in a variety of geographic settings. Givnis h and Sytsma show how family trees derived from molecular characters can be used to analyze the origin and pattern of ecological and morphological diversificati on within a lineage in a noncircular fashion. They synthesize the recent explosi on of research in this area, involving organisms as diverse as epiphytic and ter restrial orchids, water hyacinths, African cichlids, New World monkeys, tropical fruit bats, carnivorous bromeliads, Hawaiian silverswords and fruit flies, Nort h American Daphnia, Caribbean anoles, Canadian sticklebacks, and Australian mars upials. This volume will be of interest to graduate students and professional sc ientists in ecology, evolutionary biology, systematics, and biogeography. Edito rial Reviews Review The editors have put together a very handsome volume with a n impressive cast of characters to summarize the proceedings of a meeting on mol ecular evolution and adaptive radiations.The incorporation of molecular data a nd phylogenetic techniques in the study of adaptive radiations is a welcome and necessary development and this book demonstrates the potential this endeavor hol ds for evolutionary biology.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Recent studies that analyze the impact of various plant traits on whole-plant growth and competitive ability have provided insights into the selective pressures on characteristics such as leaf reflectivity, effective leaf size, stomatal conductance, size of photosynthetic enzyme pools, crown form, xylem structure, nitrogen fixation, and root versus shoot allocation. This research has reached an exciting stage, leading to quantitative predictions of favoured trends in these traits as a function of environmental parameters and fundamental physiological constraints. Such results reveal the importance of ecological patterns in plant form and physiology, and of evolutionary constraints on photosynthesis and primary productivity. On the Economy of Plant Form and Function summarizes the major recent advances in the economic analysis of plant behavior and suggests a framework for a unified, quantitative approach to understanding photosynthetic adaptations, their integration with other aspects of plant form, and their relationship to carbon balance and ultimate limits on plant productivity.…
