Bryophyte Biology 2nd Edition in pdf

 

Download This PDF Book: Bryophyte Biology 2nd Edition by Bernard Goffinet for free.

This fully updated and expanded new edition offers a complete overview of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses--diverse groups of land plants that occupy many habitats throughout the world. 

Revised classifications incorporate contributions from the most recent phylogenetic studies. Six new chapters have also been added, focusing on Physcomitrella to plant genomic research, population ecology of bryophytes, mechanisms of drought tolerance, a phylogenomic perspective on land plant evolution, and problems and progress of bryophyte speciation and conservation. 

Rich in primary source references and written by leaders in the field, this comprehensive text is suitable for advanced students and researchers.

Review:

"This volume is a valuable resource for advanced readers focusing on the overall biology of bryophytes."

S.L. Timme, Choice

"Because the second edition represents a major revision, rather than merely an update, of the first edition, anyone who has the first edition will want the second edition as well. Considering both its breadth and its depth, it is an excellent choice for a graduate-level text book in bryology. 

As the most current work on bryophytes, Bryophyte Biologywill be an important addition to the botanical section of any personal of institutional library. It will be particularly useful to anyone teaching general botany, or even general biology, courses."

Robynn Shannon, Plant Science Bulletin

Book Description

An extensive survey of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses for advanced students and researchers.

Book Description

An extensive survey of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses for advanced students and researchers. This revised edition discusses fundamental topics in bryophyte biology, including morphological diagnoses, ecological significance, speciation, genomics, and conservation. With new chapters complementing updated ones from the original, it offers an expert analysis of the subject.

About the Author

Bernard Goffinet completed his Ph.D. at the University of Alberta, Canada. As a research associate of Dr A. J. Shaw he pursued his interest in the phylogeny of mosses, with a special focus on the evolution of entomophily in the dung mosses. 

He joined the University of Connecticut in 1999, where he is an associate professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. 

He has co-authored nearly 70 publications. His current research spans choroplast genome evolution in liverworts, the phylogenetic history of the new model taxon, Physcomitrella patens, as well as the evolution of multisymbiosis in lichen-forming fungi.

A. Jonathan Shaw earned his Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Michigan. He was a Post-doctoral Associate at the Natural History Museum, Smithsonian Institution and in the Department of Botany, Duke University, before taking a faculty position in the Biology Department of Ithaca College in 1989. In 1996 he joined the Botany Department (now Biology) at Duke University, where he is currently a Professor. 

He serves as an Associate Editor for several scientific journals and as Chairman for the Board of Directors, Highlands Biological Station. He has published over 130 scientific papers and book chapters. His research interests include the systematics and phylogenetics of mosses and liverworts and population genetics of peat mosses (Sphagnum).
