Climbing is one of the principal plant growth habits that have long attracted the interests of ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Climbing plants can add significantly to the species richness of many tropical forests ecosystems, yet they receive relatively lesser attention than trees in ecological studies. The difficulties in taxonomic assertions and lack of standard methodologies overlook climbers in plant inventories, resulting in the underrepresentation of climbers in regional floras. There is a growing consensus about the increasing abundance of climbers and their multifaceted role in tropical forests worldwide. Therefore, it is essential to understand the taxonomic diversity and ecology of climbers at the regional scale to substantiate our efforts towards constructing a global climber database, which serves as a reference for fundamental research in climber ecology and evolution. This book is of interest to biodiversity researchers, taxonomists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists. Field biologists, forest managers, and naturalists will also find this a useful read. 001454880 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001454880 650_0 $$aClimbing plants$$xEcology$$zIndia. 001454880 650_0 $$aClimbing plants$$zIndia$$xClassification. 001454880 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001454880 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPANDI, VIVEK.$$tTAXONOMY AND ECOLOGY OF CLIMBERS.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER VERLAG, SINGAPOR, 2023$$z9811986444$$w(OCoLC)1350418121 001454880 852__ $$bebk 001454880 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-8645-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001454880 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1454880$$pGLOBAL_SET 001454880 980__ $$aBIB 001454880 980__ $$aEBOOK 001454880 982__ $$aEbook 001454880 983__ $$aOnline 001454880 994__ $$a92$$bISE
