The ornaments of life coevolution and conservation in the tropics / Theodore H. Fleming and W. John Kress. - Chicago : The University of Chicago Press, (c)2013. - 1 online resource (pages). - Interspecific interactions .
Includes bibliographies and index.
Patterns of regional and community diversity -- The resource base -- Patterns of pollen and seed dispersal and their ecological and genetic consequences -- Macroevolutionary consequences of pollen and seed dispersal -- Phylogeny and biogeography of these mutualisms -- The pollination mutualism -- The frugivory mutualism -- Synthesis and conclusions about the ecology and evolution of angiosperm-vertebrate mutualisms -- The future of vertebrate-angiosperm mutualisms.
The average kilometer of tropical rainforest is teeming with life; it contains thousands of species of plants and animals. As this book reveals, many of the most colourful and eye-catching rainforest inhabitants are an important component of the infrastructure that supports life in the forest.
