Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferns (Filicales) Treated Comparatively With a View to Their Natural Classification, Vol. 1: Analytical Examination of the Criteria of Comparison Little do ye know your own blessedness; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour. R. L. Stevenson, Essay on El Dorado. IN this passage Stevenson enunciates a truth that applies with singular force to those who enter on morphological enquiry. To travel hopefully is the chosen pursuit of all who study large groups of organisms with a view to reducing them to order, so as to throw light on their origin and evolution. In such quests no one need expect under present conditions to arrive at the final destination of complete and assured knowledge. If any one should indulge this hope his disappointment is certain. Even if he did so arrive, and found himself able fully to demonstrate the whole truth, how greatly would the quest lose in its interest. It is in the pursuit of his El Dorado of evolutionary history, not in the arrival there, that the true blessedness of the morphologist lies. It behoves then those who travel on this journey not to hurry unduly, but to consider with critical care the manner of their journeying, rather than to seek short cuts to an elusive goal.

Download or read book The Ferns Filicales Volume 1 Analytical Examination of the Criteria of Comparison written by F. O. Bower and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Orpen Bower (1855-1948) was a renowned botanist best known for his research on the origins and evolution of ferns. Appointed Regius Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow in 1885, he became a leading figure in the development of modern botany and the emerging field of paleobotany, devising the interpolation theory of the life cycle in land plants. First published between 1923 and 1928 as part of the Cambridge Botanical Handbook series, The Ferns was the first systematic classification of ferns according to anatomical, morphological and developmental features. In this three-volume work Bower analyses the major areas of comparison between different species, describes primitive and fossil ferns and compares these species to present-day fern species, providing a comprehensive description of the order. Volume 1 describes and analyses the features of ferns which Bower uses in his system of classification.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ferns (Filicales) Treated Comparatively With a View to Their Natural Classification, Vol. 3: The Leptosporangiate Ferns Incidentally the composition of the book on Tke Orzgz'zz ofa Laud Flam demonstrated that the facts and methods current at the opening of the present century could not suffice for any full evolutionary treatment of the Class ofthe Filicales. Not only were further details necessary for an adequate comparison of Eusporangiate Ferns, but more particularly the tangled problem of the evolutionary lines of the Leptosporangiate Ferns was still too obscure in 1908 for any coherent treatment. Their phyletic relations were hardly more than hinted at in the Land Flam, pending further research. It was necessary in the first instance to widen the basis of comparison by the introduction of new criteria, each treated critically, so as to distinguish archaic features from those held to be of more recent origin. The conclusions thus attained were checked so far as possible accordingto the palaeontological evidence. The results of such study were first published in a series of Memoirs, I - VIII, in the Annals of Boz'cmy (1910 and these supplied the material for Vol. I of this work. In Vol. II the phyletic method based on this wider comparison was applied to the relatively primitive Ferns: while the present Volume aims at a like phyletic treatment of the great mass of advanced Leptosporangiate F erns.

Download or read book Functional and Ecological Xylem Anatomy written by Uwe Hacke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book will describe the xylem structure of different plant groups, and will put the findings in a physiological and ecological context. For instance, when differences in vessel diameter are featured, then there will be an explanation why this matters for water transport efficiency and safety from cavitation. The focus is on the hydraulic function of xylem, although mechanical support and storage will also be covered. Featured plant groups include ferns (which only have primary xylem), conifers (tracheid-based xylem), lianas (extremely wide and long vessels), drought-adapted shrubs as well as the model systems poplar and grapevine. The book chapters will draw on the expertise and cutting edge research of a diversified group of internationally known researchers working in different anatomical and physiological sub-disciplines. Over the last two decades, much progress has been made in understanding how xylem structure relates to plant function. Implications for other timely topics such as drought-induced forest dieback or the regulation of plant biomass production will be discussed.
