Résumé : |
Plant evolution in the Mediterranean integrates a diverse and scattered literature to produce a synthetic account of plant evolutionary ecology. The central theme is differentiation, botha among and within species in the contemporary flora of the Mediterranean basin. This theme is developed by linking population processes to species avolution, and by examining the variation and evolution of biological traits in the context of spatial habitat variation and regional history. The Mediterranean is a region with complex geological and climatic history and a highly heterogenous landscape in which human activities have greatly modified local conditions and the spatial configuration of habitats. This book explores the evolutionary processes which have shaped plant evolution in the context of these major influences on vegetation. |
