Tropical forests botanical dynamics, speciation and diversity

Proceedings of a conference on Tropical Forests: Botanical Dynamics, Speciation and Diversity held at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, August 8*ba10, 1988. The increasing rate of destruction of the world's tropical forests gives grave cause for concern on several counts. In conservative terms, species are being lost at an incredible rate, many before they have even been described. In scientific terms, habitats, communities, and unique systems are lost before they can be studied and used to broaden our understanding of ecological processes in general. The meeting on which this book is based aimed to address two basic needs: to describe some of the marvellous biological treasures of tropical forests and to learn what they can tellus about processes in ecology, and to alert us all once again to the disaster which is overtaking this rich and varied environment.

  • "Dynamics: dynamics in tropical rain forests; quaternary geological history of the Amazon lowlands; hierarchy of landscape patterns in wester Amazon; gap-phase dynamics and tropical tree species richness; patterns of tree species diversity and canopy structure and dynamics in humid, tropical, evergreen forests on Borneo and in China; architectural concepts for tropical trees; population dynamics of tree species in tropical forests. Speciation: speciation in tropical forests; speciation and Malesian leguminosae; speciation patterns in the palms of Madagascar; an evolutionary scenario for the genus Heliconia; evolutionary patterns in citylogy and pollen structure of Asian Zingiberaceae; speciation in the Asplenium unilaterale complex; Justicia and Rungia (Acanthaceae) in the Indo-Chinese Peninsula; speciation of Alismatidae in the Neotropics; speciation patterns in African Loranthaceae. Diversity: species richness in tropical forests; Sri Lankan forests - diversity and genetic resources; the forests of the Paraguayan Chaco; shrublands of the Venezuelan Guayana; Ecuadorean forests east of the Andes; speciation and diversity of Ericaceae in Neotropical montane vegetation; diversity and distribution Guianan Passifloraceae; diversity of Lecythidaceae in the Guianas."
