This book introduces the rapidly growing field of plant evolutionary ecology. It summarizes and synthesizes much primary literature, providing a historical context for the study of populations. It also examines both traditional (common gardens, reciprocal transplants) and modern (molecular genetic) approaches used to address questions about adaptation to abiotic and biotic factors.
This book will be of interest to plant biologists and scientists and researchers in fields such as biochemistry, botany, microbiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology.
The book is intended for use by advanced level undergraduate and beginning graduate students, taking related courses in wider ecology degree programmes. Very few books cover this subject and those that do are out of date.
Given its scope, the book will be of interest to both students and researchers, and will hopefully stimulate further research in this exciting field of evolutionary biology.

This important work is the first broad and thorough treatment of the subject of ant-plant mutualisms.
A valuable resource to researchers and students in evolutionary biology, invasive species biology, and global change biology, this text suggests future research directions related to the evolutionary biology, impacts, and management of ...
Written by a world-renowned evolutionary ecologist, this book embodies a unique blend of expertise in combining theory and experiment, population genetics and ecology.
This is the only textbook on the subject featuring a collaborative "active learning" approach that emphasizes hands-on learning.
This fascinating work represents not simply a bold expedition into the lush primeval terrain of the tropics but into the new landscape—bridging all latitudes—of ecological science tomorrow.
This book will serve as an important textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and as a key reference work for researchers
