About this title

Synopsis

Oceanic island archipelagos are profoundly interesting ecosystems in which to ask questions about evolutionary patterns and processes, and may rightly be considered as one of the best places on earth to seek an understanding of the origin and elaboration of biological diversity. This 1998 volume brings together contributions covering a range of important issues in contemporary oceanic island plant biology, focusing on patterns and processes in Pacific and other islands (with emphasis on the Bonin, Hawaiian and Juan Fernandez Islands) to provide a stimulating view of the state of research and a possible agenda for future investigations. Topics addressed include chromosomal variation, macromolecular divergence, island biogeography theory, isolating mechanisms, modes of speciation and evolution of secondary plant products, resulting in a volume which reveals the special opportunities offered by oceanic archipelagos for investigating evolutionary phenomena in vascular plants.

' ... this is a useful book, bringing together a lot of information on many aspects of island biogeography.' Peter Hovenkamp, Blumea

' ... a worthy addition to the literature on plant evolution on islands ... ideal for graduate students setting out to discover new and exciting patterns of variation on islands.' Heredity

' ... a valuable addition to the literature ...' Phil Garnock-Jones, Plant Systematics & Evolution
