J.W.A Ridder-Numan - Historical Biogeography of the Southeast Asian genus Spatholobus (Legum.-Papilionoideae) and its allies

144 pp., illust. 1996. ISBN 90-71236-30-7 - NLG 80.00.

This volume combines a phylogenetic and a historical biogeographic analysis of the Southeast Asian genera Spatholobus, Butea and Meizotropis (Leguminosae-Papillionoideae) with a thorough overview of the geological history (plate tectonics) of Southeast Asia, to arrive at a general area-cladogram and evolutionary scenario of a number of Southeast Asian and West Malesian genera of higher plants.

There are in-depth discussions of analytical methods suitable for historical biogeographical analysis.

The comprehensive literature review of the geological history of Southeast Asia makes this volume a must for all with an interest in the evlotutionary history of the rich biodiversity of Southeast Asia in general, and the Malesian area in particular.
