Summary |
Pleurocarpous Mosses: Systematics and Evolution presents a timely summary of the evolution of pleurocarpous mosses, including recent breakthroughs. This book discusses higher-level relationships, exploring the backbone phylogeny of the group and relations within subgroups. It also examines the processes involved in the evolution of the pleurocarps and of morphological features. It covers fossil history and proposed dates for evolution of critical nodes. It examines new methods and technologies on traditional views of relationships within a poorly known group of organisms. It also addresses wid |
