Synopsis : lessons from a continental archipelago. 330 $aThis thorough and meticulous study, the result of nearly a quarter-century of research, examines the island biogeography of plants on continental islands in Barkley Sound, British Columbia. Invaluable both because of its geographical setting and because of the duration of the study, Plants on Islands summarizes the diversity, dynamics, and distribution of the approximately three hundred species of plants on more than two hundred islands. Martin Cody uses his extensive data set to test various aspects of island biogeographic theory. His thoughtful analysis, constrained by taxon and region, elucidates and enhances the understanding of the biogeographic patterns and dynamics. He provides an overview of the basic theory, concepts, and analytical tools of island biogeography. Also discussed are island relaxation to lower equilibrium species numbers post-isolation, plant distributions variously limited by island area, isolation and climatic differences, adaptation to local abiotic and biotic environments within islands, and the evolution of different island phenotypes. The book concludes with a valuable consideration of equilibrium concepts and of the interplay of coexistence and competition. Certain to challenge, Plants on Islands is among the first books to critically analyze the central tenets of the theory of island biogeography. 606 $aIsland plants$zBritish Columbia$zBarkley Sound Region 606 $aPlant communities$zBritish Columbia$zBarkley Sound Region 606 $aVegetation dynamics$zBritish Columbia$zBarkley Sound Region 606 $aPhytogeography$zBritish Columbia$zBarkley Sound Region 606 $aPlant ecology$zBritish Columbia$zBarkley Sound Region 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIsland plants 615 0$aPlant communities 615 0$aVegetation dynamics 615 0$aPhytogeography 615 0$aPlant ecology 676 $a581.7/5209711 700 $aCody$b Martin L.$f1941-$01048479 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450121903321 996 $aPlants on islands$92476783 997 $aUNINA
