This book combines broad taxonomic treatment with analysis of character states and the presentation of evolutionary models for the monocotyledons.
« The field of plant taxonomy has transformed rapidly over the past fifteen years, especially with regard to improvements in cladistic analysis and the use of new molecular data. The second edition of this popular resource reflects these far-reaching and dramatic developments wi…
Scholars consider the origins and consequences of the evolution of multicellularity, addressing a range of organisms, experimental protocols,theoretical concepts, and philosophical issues.
"Of the 7,000 estimated non-native species present in North America, approximately 1,000 are invasive. Clearly, invasive species are in the minority, but their small numbers don't keep them from causing billions of dollars in economic and ecological harm each year. Policymakers …
Invasive species come in all sizes, from plant pathogens like the chestnut blight in eastern North America, to the red imported fire ant that has spread throughout the South, the predatory Indian mongoose now found in the Caribbean and Hawaii, and the huge Burmese python populat…
