Plant evolutionary ecology is a rapidly growing discipline which
emphasizes that populations adapt and evolve not in isolation, but
in relation to other species and abiotic environmental features
such as climate. Although it departs from traditional evolutionary
and ecological fields of study, the field is connected to branches
of ecology, genetics, botany, conservation, and to a number of
other fields of applied science, primarily through shared concepts
and techniques. However, most books regarding evolutionary ecology
focus on animals, creating a substantial need for scholarly
literature with an emphasis on plants. Approaches to Plant
Evolutionary Ecology is the first book to specifically explore the
evolutionary characteristics of plants, filling the aforementioned
gap in the literature on evolutionary ecology. Renowned plant
ecologist Gregory P. Cheplick summarizes and synthesizes much of
the primary literature regarding evolutionary ecology, providing a
historical context for the study of plant populations from an
evolutionary perspective. The book also provides summaries of both
traditional (common gardens, reciprocal transplants) and modern
(molecular genetic) approaches used to address questions about
plant adaptation to a diverse group of abiotic and biotic factors.
Cheplick provides a rigorously-written introduction to the rapidly
growing field of plant evolutionary ecology that will appeal to
undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in ecology and
evolution, as well as educators who are teaching courses on related
topics.
