About the Book

From the reviews: "...the present work is an invaluable addition to the literature on reproductive biology of plants... Few botanists today are better qualified than van der Pijl to write on dispersal (and pollination) biology... an excellent up-to-date treatment of a long neglected subject... this splendid volume is unlikely to be surpassed for quite some time..." Science
