Description
A selection of papers from the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Grass Systematics and Evolution, held in Sydney, Australia in 1998. The papers represent some of the leading work from around the world on grasses and include reviews and research into the comparative biology and classification. All 41 papers have been peer-reviewed and edited. Many have been updated of extended to take into account up-to-date information.
Reviews
"These proceedings provide a timely synthesis of the progress achieved in grass evolutionary biology over the past 13 years, a period that has seen the greatest leaps in understanding the relationships among living things, including grasses. ... Overall, care was taken to include contributions, including several fine reviews, from many of the major contributors to the field on tropics that integrate evolutionary pattern (phylogeny) with morphology, geography, ecology and reproductive biology." --M.S. Mayer (CHOICE January 2001)
