Summary

The first volume to address the study of evolutionary transitions in plants,Major Evolutionary Transitions in Flowering Plant Reproductionbrings together compelling work from the three areas of significant innovation in plant biology: evolution and adaptation in flowers and pollination, mating patterns and gender strategies, and asexual reproduction and polyploidy. Spencer C. H. Barrett assembles here a distinguished group of authors who address evolutionary transitions using comparative and phylogenetic approaches, the tools of genomics, population genetics, and theoretical modeling, and through studies in development and field experiments in ecology. With special focus on evolutionary transitions and shifts in reproductive characterskey elements of biological diversification and research in evolutionary biologyMajor Evolutionary Transitions in Flowering Plant Reproductionis the most up-to-date treatment of a fast-moving area of evolutionary biology and ecology.
