De menselijke drang om alle levende wezens te classificeren heeft enkele artistieke pareltjes nagelaten. De allereerste tekeningen die gemaakt zijn, beelden dieren af. De wens om orde te scheppen in die verbluffende variatie aan vormen had een praktische achtergrond – eetbaar van giftig onderscheiden, en gevaarlijk van ongevaarlijk – maar ook een artistieke. Lang voor de tijd van Darwin hielden onze voorouders zich al bezig met de zichtbare overeenkomsten en verschillen tussen dieren. Vroege wetenschappers voelden aan dat er orde zat in al dat leven en ontwierpen verschillende schema’s om deze orde te illustreren. Dit boek vertelt het fascinerende verhaal van deze classificatie. De prachtige zoölogische illustraties laten zowel de artistieke trends zien als de stand van de wetenschap. Zo vertellen ze ons evenveel over de mens als over de dieren die erop staan afgebeeld.

This book presents the first assessment of the high-elevation flora of the Central Caucasus with a community ecology emphasis. Following a geostatistical-climatological description of the region (in comparison to the European Alps), it describes the montane, alpine and nival plant assemblages on the basis of an ecological approach that combines moisture, soils and local habitat peculiarities. Highlights include the famous giant herb communities in treeless parts of the upper montane belt, the various facets of alpine turf, and the unique assemblages and settings in the nival region. Further chapters address potential niche conservation between the Caucasus and the Alps, as well as a compilation of plant species habitat preferences (indicator values) that applies to a concept developed for the Alps. Richly illustrated and featuring extensive quantitative data on species abundance, the book offers a unique guide to the plant species diversity of this prominent mountain range, and a valuable resource for comparative ecology and biodiversity assessments of warm temperate mountain systems.
