Plant Reproductive Ecology: Patterns and Strategies

'Many individual chapters are superb, and there is evidence of diligent editorial work... this is a most useful book.' The Quarterly Review of Biology `Provides a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers interested in evolutionary ecology and plant reproductive biology. Chapters by the Lovett Dousts, Bertin, Zimmerman, and Lee are especially notable in their critical and analytical perspectives on theory and current data.' Ecology 'The book is well edited and provides stimulating reading throughout. It is a pleasure to see the robust and uninhibited use of terms considered too inexact or teleological in some quarters: adaptation, strategy, stress and competition. A very interesting glimpse of the possible directions in which future research may lie.' The Journal of Applied Ecology `An excellent series of synthetic reviews of patterns and strategies of plant reproductive ecology.' Acta Botanica Neerlandica `This is an excellent book.' Evolution 'This is a most welcome paperback edition ... It presents an excellent series of reviews on topics in plant reproductive biology at a price which is now more attractive to research students and undergraduates.' P. Gibbs, 1991 Annals of Botany Company
