Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This collection of reviews by leading investigators examines plant reproduction within a framework of evolutionary ecology. The contributors cover sex allocation; sexual selection and inclusive fitness; paternity and maternity; the evolution, maintenance, and loss of self-incompatibility in plants; and sex dimorphism. Together these studies focus on the complexities of plant life cycles and the distinctive reproductive biologies of these organisms, while showing the similarities between non-flowering plants and the more thoroughly documented flowering species.
MoreLong description:
This collection of reviews by leading investigators examines plant reproduction within a framework of evolutionary ecology. The contributors discuss conceptual issues, showing the importance of sex allocation, sexual selection and inclusive fitness, and the dimensions of paternity and maternity in plants. The evolution, maintenance, and loss of self-incompatibility in plants, the nature of sex choice, and sex dimorphism are all explored. Specific forms of biotic interactions shaping the evolution of plant reproductive strategy are discussed, and a taxonomically based review of the reproductive biology of non-angiosperm plant groups - such as bryophytes, ferns and algae - is presented.
Together these studies focus on the complexities of plant life cycles and the distinctive reproductive biologies of these organisms, while showing the similarities between non-flowering plants and the more thoroughly documented flowering species.
'Many individual chapters are superb, and there is evidence of diligent editorial work... this is a most useful book.' The Quarterly Review of Biology
