The Flowering of Australia's Rainforests provides a comprehensive
introduction to the pollination ecology, evolution and conservation
of Australian rainforest plants, with particular emphasis on
subtropical rainforests and their associated pollinators. This
significantly expanded second edition includes new information on
the impact of climate change, fire, fragmentation and invasive
species. Rainforests continue to be a focus of global conservation
concern, not only from threats to biodiversity in general, but to
pollinators specifically. Within Australia, this has been
emphasised by recent cataclysmic fire impacts, ongoing extreme
drought events, and the wider consideration of climate change. This
second edition strengthens coverage of these issues beyond that of
the first edition. The Flowering of Australia's Rainforests makes
timely contributions to our understanding of the nature and
function of the world's pollinator fauna, plant-reproduction
dependencies, and the evolutionary pathway that has brought them to
their current state and function. Illustrated with 150 colour
plates of major species and rainforest formations, this reference
work will be of value to ecologists and field naturalists,
botanists, conservation biologists, ecosystemmanagers and community
groups involved in habitat restoration. FEATURES: Provides an
overview of the pollination ecology of Australia's rainforests in a
world rainforest context. In particular discusses the pollination
ecology of threatened subtropical rainforests, including the impact
of climate change, fragmentation, fire and invasive species.
Provides an introductory review of plant evolution and
plant-pollinator relationships. Discusses pollination syndromes and
the role and function of pollinator groups. Serves as a companion
volume to The Invertebrate World of Australia's Subtropical
Rainforests
