  • Beyond Cladistics

    The Branching of a Paradigm

    Edited by David M. Williams, Sandra Knapp ...
    Series Book 3 - Species and Systematics
    Cladistics, or phylogenetic systematics—an approach to discovering, unraveling, and testing hypotheses of evolutionary history—took hold during a turbulent and acrimonious time in the history of systematics. During this period—the 1960s and 1970s—much of the foundation of modern systematic methodology was established as cladistic approaches became widely accepted. Virtually complete by the end of ...

  • Plant Functional Diversity

    Organism traits, community structure, and ecosystem properties

    by Eric Garnier, Marie-Laure Navas, Karl Grigulis ...
    Biological diversity, the variety of living organisms on Earth, is traditionally viewed as the diversity of taxa, and species in particular. However, other facets of diversity also need to be considered for a comprehensive understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes. This novel book demonstrates the advantages of adopting a functional approach to diversity in order to improve our ... Read more

  • Species and Speciation in the Fossil Record

    Edited by Warren D. Allmon, Margaret M. Yacobucci ...
    Although the species is one of the fundamental units of biological classification, there is remarkably little consensus among biologists about what defines a species, even within distinct sub-disciplines. The literature of paleobiology, in particular, is littered with qualifiers and cautions about applying the term to the fossil record or equating such species with those recognized among living ...
