The editor of the University of Murcia (EDITUM) presented the book "Place Names and historical biogeography of woody plants Iberian", in A.
Felix Carrillo, José Sebastián Carrión, S.
Fernandez and Juan Luis Román del Cerro, who has published in his collection Gaia.
The work, which links two such opposing disciplines such as biology and linguistics, is to demonstrate that many plant species whose name corresponded to a certain geographic area have changed their range, because in most cases to climate change has been the last five thousand years in the western Mediterranean.
The authors try to answer questions such as what plant species that pose the greatest disjunction with the area from which they originated or what ever happened to that place names referring to certain plants do not match their current distribution, for exhibiting at this book a novel experimental model to search for relations between the geographical distribution of species and location names.
The presentation, held in the Lecture Hall of the Merced campus, was attended by authors and other officers of the university.
