This completely revised, fourth edition of Introduction to PlantPopulation Biology continues the approach taken by its highlysuccessful predecessors. Ecological and genetic principles areintroduced and theory is made accessible by clear, accurateexposition with plentiful examples. Models and theoreticalarguments are developed gradually, requiring a minimum ofmathematics.
The book emphasizes the particular characteristics of plantsthat affect their population biology, and evolutionary questionsthat are particularly relevant for plants. Wherever appropriate, itis shown how ecology and genetics interact, presenting a roundedpicture of the population biology of plants.
Topics covered include variation and its inheritance, geneticmarkers including molecular markers, plant breeding systems,ecological genetics, intraspecific interactions, populationdynamics, regional dynamics and metapopulations, competition andcoexistence, and the evolution of breeding systems and lifehistory. An extensive bibliography provides access to the recentliterature that will be invaluable to students and academicsalike.
Effective integration of plant population ecology, populationgenetics and evolutionary biology.
The new edition is thoroughly revised and now includesmolecular techniques.
The genetics chapters have been completely rewritten by a newco-author, Deborah Charlesworth.

Reviews of the fourth edition:
"This book covers topics in depth and is really outstanding; itis also one of the best-written textbooks of any kind that I haveever read. I've owned all four editions of this book, which hasundergone considerable evolution as co-authors have come and gone,and it has always been very clear, concise, readable and full ofideas." Professor Don Drake, University of Hawaii
"...the fourth edition...is still doing a good job of fillingits expanded niche as a concise and engaging up-to-dateintroduction to plant population ecology and evolution written bytwo knowledgeable leaders in the field" D. Lawrence Venable,University of Arizona, American Journal of Botany 90 (1)2003.
Reviews of the Third Edition:
"In upgrading this text, Silvertown and Lovett Doust haveperformed an important service for plant population biologists,plant ecologists, and others needing an introduction to thisfast-growing field. the only book available to accompany anupper-level or beginning graduate course in plant populationbiology, and it fits in niche well. Plant ecologists are likely tofind this book useful as a reference." Review from previousedition, BioScience 1995
"Plant population biology is both desperately important andsubtly complex, forming the basis for much ecological work, and theauthors are to be congratulated in managing to cram an enormousamount of detail into this wide-ranging text, [...] The use ofcontemporary examples helps to give the book a fresh and urgentappeal. It should be useful reading for undergraduates whosecourses have a plant ecology component, but will also provide avery succinct introduction for postgraduates moving into thisfield."
Roger Delpech, Journal of Biological Education, 2002,36(4)
"The clarity of text, plentiful examples and extensiveliterature survey make this book indispensable for all students ofpopulation biology." Folia Geobotanica, 2002, (37)
