Evolutionary ecology of plant reproductive strategies evolutionary biologists have produced a solid body of evidence to explain patterns of diversification both within and among species recent. My main research interest is the study of the evolution of reproductive strategies of plants reproductive strategies determine mating behaviour and gene transfer and thus they are closely linked to plant fitness and evolutionary potential of populations in particular my research has been focused on how reproductive traits such as plant sexual expression flower and fruit traits have evolved in the history of flowering plants. For students and researchers interested in evolutionary biology this is a refreshing work on evolutionary ecology of plants choice in summary we think that the theory based perspective of this book fills a gap in the area of plant reproductive ecology texts tia lynn ashman carine l collin laurent penet the ecological society of america. 0521821428 evolutionary ecology of plant reproductive strategies by tom de jong peter klinkhamer description it is the authors hope that many students will take on this challenge and help the study of the evolutionary ecology of plants to develop as a mature predictive science
