Plant Life Histories re-examines patterns of relationships between plant life history traits in phylogenetic perspective. The re-examination recognizes that because evolution is a branching process, traits are not randomly distributed across taxa and that therefore analysis of trait correlations cannot treat species as independent data points. Part 1 looks at the use of the phylogen¬etic perspective on trait correlation. Parts 2-4 examine traits from the reproductive phase, seed production and dispersal to recruitment and growth.The final section looks at interactions between plants and competitors, herbivores and microbial sym-bionts, recognizing that these interactions may have an ancient evolutionary history. Students and researchers of evolution, ecology and botany will find much of valué here.
