2: Rise of the angiosperms, and archaic vascular plants in Australia's rainforests -- 3: Being a flower -- 4: Introduction to breeding systems -- 5: Spatial and temporal structure of rainforest: general mechanisms that influence pollination and reproductive ecology -- 6: Australian vegetation history and its influence on plant-pollinator relationships -- 7: Pollination and the Australian flora -- 8: Pollination syndromes: who brings the 'flower children' in rainforest? -- 9: Pollination ecology of Australian subtropical rainforests: implications for the conservation of remnant communities.

Subject: " The Flowering of Australia's Rainforests provides a comprehensive introduction to the pollination ecology, evolution and conservation of Australian rainforest plants, with particular emphasis on subtropical rainforests and their associated pollinators. This significantly expanded second edition includes new information on the impact of climate change, fire, fragmentation and invasive species. Rainforests continue to be a focus of global conservation concern, not only from threats to biodiversity in general, but to pollinators specifically. Within Australia, this has been emphasised by recent cataclysmic fire impacts, ongoing extreme drought events, and the wider consideration of climate change. This second edition strengthens coverage of these issues beyond that of the first edition."-- CSIRO Publishing Website.
