Title: The Ghosts Of Evolution Condition: New Subtitle: Nonsensical Fruit, Missing Partners, and Other Ecological Anachronisms Author: Connie Barlow Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 0465005527 EAN: 9780465005529 ISBN: 9780465005529 Publisher: Basic Books Genre: Science Nature & Math Release Date: 21/03/2002 Description: A new vision is sweeping through ecological science: The dense web of dependencies that makes up an ecosystem has gained an added dimension-the dimension of time. Every field, forest, and park is full of living organisms adapted for relationships with creatures that are now extinct. In a vivid narrative, Connie Barlow shows how the idea of "missing partners" in nature evolved from isolated, curious examples into an idea that is transforming how ecologists understand the entire flora and fauna of the Americas. This fascinating book will enrich the experience of any amateur naturalist, as well as teach us that the ripples of biodiversity loss around us are just the leading edge of what may well become perilous cascades of extinction.
