Description
Each plant species has its own unique passage that is affected by its gene pool, dispersal ability, interactions with competitors and pests, and the habitats and climactic conditions to which it is exposed. This book will explore plant species as dynamic entities within this passage, following the four stages of plant species life that normally occur. Those four stages can be identified as birth, expansion, differentiation and loss of cohesion, and
decline/extinction. Each chapter focuses on part of the speciation process and examines it closely in the light of exploring the species passage from birth to death.
Table of Contents
- 1. The Premise and Species Concepts
- 2. Speciation: The Ecological Transition
- 3. Speciation: The Genetic Transition
- 4. The Geographical Scale of Speciation
- 5. The Geographical Expansion of Neospecies
- 6. Differentiation and the Breakdown of Species Unity
- 7. The Decline and Demise of Species
- 8. The Persistence and Sorting of Incipient Species
- 9. Species Duration and the Tempo of Diversification
