From the reviews:
“This book describes recent developments in the evolutionary ecology of plant communication, a relatively recent and rapidly developing topic worthy of synthesis. ... this book is written in a pleasant style and gives many up-to-date examples. It will be a useful source of information for graduate students and other researchers looking for a concise overview of current work in the evolutionary ecology of plant communication.” (Martine Hossaert-McKey, Annals of Botany, Vol. 111 (2), February, 2013)
“This relatively tiny book provides a wide audience with a good insight into recent progresses in the field of plant communication. ... the book is a handy collation that might be useful for many plant ecologists and researchers.” (Jan Pergl, Folia Geobotanica, Vol. 48, 2013)

Descrizione libro Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since the concept of allelopathy was introduced almost 100 years ago, research has led to an understanding that plants are involved in complex communicative interactions. They use a battery of different signals that convey plant-relevant information within plant individuals as well as between plants of the same species or different species. The 13 chapters of this volume discuss all these topics from an ecological perspective. Communication between plants allows them to share physiological and ecological information relevant for their survival and tness. It is obvious that in these very early days of ecological plant communication research we are illuminating only the 'tip of iceberg' of the communicative nature of higher plants. Nevertheless, knowledge on the identity and informative value of volatiles used by plants for communication is increasing with breath-taking speed. Among the most spectacular examples are sit- tions where plant emitters warn neighbours about a danger, increasing their innate immunity, or when herbivore-attacked plants attract the enemies of the herbivores ('cry for help' and 'plant bodyguards' concepts). It is becoming obvious that plants use not only volatile signals but also diverse water soluble molecules, in the case of plant roots, to safeguard their evolutionary success and accomplish self/non-self kin rec- nition. Importantly, as with all the examples of biocommunication, irrespective of whether signals and signs are transmitted via physical or chemical pathways, plant communication is a rule-governed and sign-mediated process. 260 pp. Englisch.
