The Evolution of Plantsby K. J. Willis
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:First / second year undergraduate text.
Book News Annotation:Willis (geography and the environment, U. of Oxford) and McElwain
(geography, The Field Museum, Chicago) begin with an overview of the
main evolutionary changes in the plant kingdom from the first
photosynthesizers to the present. They continue by looking at
evidence for mass extinctions and persistent plant populations in the
fossil record, current research on ancient DNA and other biomolecular
markers, and how the plant record matches different evolutionary
theories.
