Neotropical Savannas and Dry Forests: Diversity, Biogeography, and Conservation (Systematics Association Special Volume)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This latest addition to the prestigious Systematics Association Special Volumes series is the first extensive compilation of the patterns of plant biodiversity in the species-rich savannas and seasonally dry forests of the neotropics. This overview also summarizes what is known of the evolutionary history of these ecosystems, including links to the development of analogous vegetation in Africa. Its focus on plant biodiversity and the molecular phylogenies and molecular population genetics for uncovering the biogeographic history of these ecosystems differentiates this work from previously published titles that mainly emphasized the ecology and physiology of the vegetation.
