This volume is based on a workshop on "Population Biology of.
Plants The Interfaces (Genetics, Physiology, Demography,
Biogeography)," with a specific profile on "Diversification of
Plant Populations in relation to Modes of Reproduction and
Dispersal Genetic and Physiological Mechanisms," held in
Port-Camargue, France, from May 21-25, 1984. This workshop was
initiated by the "Unit of Population and Community Biology," in
Montpellier, and sponsored by the NATO Scientific Affairs Division
(ARW grant 876/83) and by the CNRS (Table ronde). All populations
are subjected to environmental "screening." Given a genetic
diversity whose expression can be modified by a degree of
demographic and individual plastici ty (at the morphological and
physiological levels), they present a structure related to their
environment. Ideally populations should be studied simultaneously
from the point of view of the population geneticist, the
physiologist and the demographer . These specific approaches only
become fully meaning full in the "light of Evolution." Among the
evolutionary forces that quantitatively act on the frequencies,
objects of interest of workers specialising in Population Biology
are selection and drift. An other main object of the study must be
dispersal. But, its playing extent - relative to the other forces -
in the adjustment to the environment is not fully recognized.
