| Call Number | 587/.3 |
| Title | Biology and evolution of ferns and lycophytes / edited by Tom A. Ranker, Christopher H. Haufler. Biology & Evolution of Ferns & Lycophytes |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xix, 480 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Photoresponses in fern gametophytes / Alternation of generations / Meristem organization and organ diversity / Population genetics / Antheridiogens / Structure and evolution of fern plastid genomes / Evolution of the nuclear genome of ferns and lycophytes / Phenology and habitat specificity of tropical ferns / Gametophyte ecology / Conservation biology / Ex situ conservation of ferns and lycophytes : approaches and techniques / Species and speciation / Phylogeny and evolution of ferns : a paleontological perspective / Diversity, biogeography, and floristics / Fern phylogeny / Fern classification / |
| Summary | With their team of contemporary scholars, the editors present a thorough coverage of fundamental topics necessary for obtaining an up-to-date understanding of the biology of ferns and lycophytes. The book is organized into major topics that build from the individual and its biochemistry and structure, to genetics and populations, to interactions among individuals and the conservation of species, and concludes with perspectives on evolutionary history and classification. Each chapter is organized to review past work, explore current questions, and suggest productive directions for continued discoveries about these fascinating groups of organisms. Written for upper undergraduates, graduates and academic researchers, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycophytes fills a major gap in biological, organism-level, evolutionary literature by providing a review of the biology and evolution of this important group of vascular land plants. |
