  • Cognitive Ecology of Pollinationby Lars Chittka; James D. Thomson

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 60.00

    Recent advances have been made in our understanding of the cognitive and sensory abilities of pollinators and their consequences for floral evolution. This book integrates the work of evolutionary ecologists and neuroethologists to describe how pollinating animals have influenced the extraordinary variety of floral colour, form and scent in nature. more...

  • Recent Dynamics of the Mediterranean Vegetation and Landscapeby Stefano Mazzoleni; Gaetano di Pasquale; Mark Mulligan; Paolo di Martino; Francisco Rego

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 350.00

    The Mediterranean region has been shaped by human activity and maintained by traditional practices of land use for centuries.  This has affected the distribution of plants and the landscape, which can be considered as part of the European cultural landscape.  This book details the rapid changes that have taken place in the vegetation of the Mediterranean in the last half-century, a period in which major socio-economic development greatly affected the cultural and physical landscape. more...

    Current knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, yet a good understanding of the trees is essential to unravelling the workings of the forest itself. This book aims to summarise contemporary understanding of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees, with particular emphasis on comparative ecology. more...

  • Ecohydrologyby Peter S. Eagleson

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 84.00
