Aaron M. Ellison is the Senior Research Fellow in Ecology at Harvard University, and a semi-professional photographer and writer. He studies the disintegration and reassembly of ecosystems following natural and anthropogenic disturbances; thinks about the relationship between the Dao and the intermediate disturbance hypothesis and reflects on the critical and reactionary stance of Ecology relative to Modernism. Lubomír Adamec is the Senior Research Scientist in the Section of Plant Ecology of the Institute of Botany CAS at Trebon, Czech Republic, where he has been working since 1986. Since graduating in plant physiology from the Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovakia, he has been studying the ecophysiology of aquatic and wetland plants, especially carnivorous ones: mineral nutrition, photosynthesis, growth traits, Utricularia trap ecophysiology, and biophysics. He is the curator of the world's largest collection of aquatic carnivorous plants, currently including more than 80 species or populations, which is used extensively for research and plant conservation.
As a review of the most up to date research on carnivorous plants,
this is ideal for senior undergraduate or graduate students,
academics, and those with a keen interest in carnivorous
plants...It rewards the careful and thorough reader who is
passionate about botany.
*Emma Bocking, The Canadian Field-Naturalist*
Carnivorous Plants is a remarkable work of scholarship for a
remarkable group of plants (by a remarkable band of
enthusiasts).
