The metaphor of the adaptive landscape - that evolution via the process of natural selection can be visualized as a journey across adaptive hills and valleys, mountains and ravines - permeates both evolutionary biology and the philosophy of science. The focus of this 2006 book is to demonstrate to the reader that the adaptive landscape concept can be put into actual analytical practice through the usage of theoretical morphospaces - geometric spaces of both existent and non-existent biological form - and to demonstrate the power of the adaptive landscape concept in understanding the process of evolution. The adaptive landscape concept further allows us to take a spatial approach to the concepts of natural selection, evolutionary constraint and evolutionary development. For that reason, this book relies heavily on spatial graphics to convey the concepts developed within these pages, and less so on formal mathematics.

In this volume, the ninth of the series, treatments are offered for 52 families containing 432 genera belonging to 13 eudicot orders, many of which have recently been newly designed; four families remain unassigned to order. Emphasis is on the early-diverging eudicots and basal core eudicots the phylogenetic relationships and diversification of which have recently been in focus and are critically discussed. Systematically relevant information includes descriptions of families and genera, keys to the genera, and references to recent revisions. Introductions to the families provide convenient, in-depth overviews of key aspects of systematics. The wealth and precision of information contained in this volume will make it an important source of reference for both the scholar and the practitioner in the fields of pure and applied plant sciences.

La biologie végétale en pleine évolution ! La biologie des plantes est un domaine d'études, de recherches et d'applications pratiques fascinant. Des progrès importants ont été réalisés dans la plupart des disciplines des sciences végétales. Depuis l'étude de relations évolutives jusqu'aux recherches sur la génomique et sur le fonctionnement des plantes, ces progrès améliorent notre connaissance des végétaux et ils ont des implications durables dans notre vie. Superbement illustré, cet ouvrage a pour but de donne une vue d'ensemble de la biologie des plantes et des organismes photosynthétiques (algues, champignons bactéries...). Cette nouvelle édition, mise à jour, intègre les progrès de la recherche, les explique, les illustre. Les auteurs ont cherché à rendre le texte plus accessible aux étudiants en simplifiant la rédaction et en réorganisant le texte pour plus de clarté. Les illustrations sont plus nombreuses, plus complètes avec des légendes plus importantes. Une approche centrée sur l'évolution et sur la biodiversité. La structure et le fonctionnement des organismes végétaux sont décrits ainsi que leur origine évolutive, leurs relations mutuelles et leur classification, leur répartition dans les différents milieux, leurs interactions avec les autres plantes ainsi qu'avec le monde animal, leur rôle dans les équilibres biologiques, dans l'écologie globale et dans la biodiversité. L'ouvrage insiste sur la nécessité de connaître les plantes afin de permettre la recherche de solutions aux problèmes liés aux activités humaines et à la surpopulation. Les 32 chapitres sont structurés en 7 parties : Biologie de la cellule végétale, Energétique, Génétique et évolution, Diversité, Angiospermes : structure et développement de la plante, Physiologie des spermatophytes, Ecologie. Traduction de la 7e édition américaine.
