Neotropical Savannas and Seasonally Dry Forests

Neotropical Savannas and Seasonally Dry Forests

Plant Diversity, Biogeography, and Conservation

Contenu

This volume is the first extensive compilation of the patterns of plant biodiversity in the species-rich savannas and seasonally dry forests of the neotropics. Focusing on the molecular phylogenies and population genetics for uncovering biogeographic history, it addresses three questions: Where are the centers of species-richness and endemism that make up the floras of these ecosystems? How and why did this endemism and diversity arise? Are these ecosystems adequately protected, and if not how can this be best achieved? It also looks at evolutionary history, including links to the development of analogous vegetation in Africa. According to the Midwest Book Review (August 2006) this work is ..".a seminal and necessary addition to professional and academic library Biological Sciences and Environmental Studies reference collections."
