The object of this volume is to draw attention to the wide range of associations between fungi and living organisms, particularly animals and plants, where there are indications that coevolution has been a major factor in their development.

It has long been recognized that plants and animals profoundly affect one another’s characteristics during the course of evolution. However, the importance of coevolution as a dynamic process involving such diverse factors as chemical communication, population structure and dynamics, energetics, and the evolution, structure, and functioning of ecosystems has been widely recognized for a comparatively short time. Coevolution represents a point of view about the structure of nature that only began to be fully explored in the late twentieth century. The papers presented here herald its emergence as an important and promising field of biological research. Coevolution of Animals and Plants is the first book to focus on the dynamic aspects of animal-plant coevolution. It covers, as broadly as possible, all the ways in which plants interact with animals. Thus, it includes discussions of leaf-feeding animals and their impact on plant evolution as well as of predator-prey relationships involving the seeds of angiosperms. Several papers deal with the most familiar aspect of mutualistic plant-animal interactions—pollination relationships. The interactions of orchids and bees, ants and plants, and butterflies and plants are discussed. One article provides a fascinating example of more indirect relationships centered around the role of carotenoids, which are produced by plants but play a fundamental part in the visual systems of both plants and animals. Coevolution of Animals and Plants provides a general conceptual framework for studies on animal-plant interaction. The papers are written from a theoretical, rather than a speculative, standpoint, stressing patterns that can be applied in a broader sense to relationships within ecosystems. Contributors to the volume include Paul Feeny, Miriam Rothschild, Christopher Smith, Brian Hocking, Lawrence Gilbert, Calaway Dodson, Herbert Baker, Bernd Heinrich, Doyle McKey, and Gordon Frankie.

Based on sequence analyses of many different genes, the past decade has provided us with a profound knowledge of fungal systematics and phylogeny. In addition, a number of sequences of complete fungal genomes have been identified and several others will soon follow. In this volume, leading experts address questions concerning the origin of the fungal kingdom and fungal evolution at a level of analytical refinement that has never been possible before. The following major aspects are highlighted: evolutionary roots of fungi; evolution of signaling in fungi and fungal-like organisms; evolution of mutualistic systems and metabolism in fungi; and evolutionary mechanisms and trends.

This captivating eBook takes you on an extraordinary journey into the world of fungi, revealing their hidden roles in our ecosystems and their remarkable resilience in the face of climate change. Dive into the rich history and evolution of fungi, starting with ancient fossil records and tracing their diversification and co-evolution with plants and animals. Learn how these remarkable organisms have developed unique adaptations to thrive in a variety of extreme environments, from deserts to deep-sea habitats. Explore the indispensable role of fungi in carbon cycling, where they contribute to decomposition, nutrient recycling, and carbon sequestration, ultimately influencing the health of our planet. Uncover the fascinating mycorrhizal networks that connect and support plant growth, enhancing ecosystem stability and resilience to climate change. "***The Fungal Frontier***" also illuminates the critical interactions between fungi and global biodiversity. Discover hotspots of fungal diversity, conservation efforts, and the pivotal role fungi play in maintaining ecological balance. The book delves into the alarming rise of fungal pathogens driven by climate change, and the subsequent impacts on plants, animals, and human health. Revolutionize your understanding of agriculture with insights into how fungi enhance crop production, soil health, and climate resilience through biofertilizers and other innovative practices. The book also highlights the emerging field of fungal biotechnology, showcasing groundbreaking applications in bioremediation, biofuel production, and environmental cleanup. Engage with hands-on citizen science projects that invite you to contribute to fungal research, fostering public interest and advancing conservation efforts. Finally, "The Fungal Frontier" prepares you for the future by examining predicted climate change impacts on fungi and proposing adaptation strategies and policy measures to safeguard these essential organisms. Embrace the remarkable world of fungi and appreciate their legacy and significance in our pursuit of a sustainable future. "The Fungal Frontier" is your ultimate guide to understanding and harnessing the power of fungi in a warming world.

“It is not only the species that change evolutionarily through interactions . . . the interactions themselves also change.” Thus states John N. Thompson in the foreword to Interaction and Coevolution, the first title in his series of books exploring the relentless nature of evolution and the processes that shape the web of life. Originally published in 1982 more as an idea piece—an early attempt to synthesize then academically distinct but logically linked strands of ecological thought and to suggest avenues for further research—than as a data-driven monograph, Interaction and Coevolution would go on to be considered a landmark study that pointed to the beginning of a new discipline. Through chapters on antagonism, mutualism, and the effects of these interactions on populations, speciation, and community structure, Thompson seeks to explain not only how interactions differ in the selection pressures they exert on species, but also when interactions are most likely to lead to coevolution. In this era of climate change and swiftly transforming environments, the ideas Thompson puts forward in Interaction and Coevolution are more relevant than ever before.
