Columnar Cacti and Their Mutualists: Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation
Columnar Cacti and Their Mutualists: Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation
Editorial Reviews
Peter E. Scott
"One of the most significant works ever published on the two topics of columnar cacti and nectar-feeding bats."
Book Description
Summarizes our current knowledge about the ecology, evolution, and conservation of columnar cacti and their vertebrate mutualists to show that the very survival of these cacti depends on animals who pollinate them and disperse their seeds. Ranging from the Sonoran Desert to the northern Andes, these studies explore aspects of geology and evolution that have forged this relationship, review findings in anatomy and physiology, and discuss recent research in population and community ecology as well as conservation issues.
