His main focus of interest is the diverse biological aspects of succulent plants. Dr. Eggli is an expert in the classification of succulents, especially of the families \u003ci\u003eCrassulaceae \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eCactaceae\u003c\/i\u003e, and a specialist of nomenclature. He traveled widely to study succulent plants in habitat, especially in Latin America. His numerous publications cover a diversity of aspects of the biology of succulent plants. Since 1995 he is editor of the annual \u003ci\u003eRepertorium Plantarum Succulentarum\u003c\/i\u003e. During 2001–2003 he edited four volumes of the first edition of the present series, and in 2005 he translated and revised a monograph of the \u003ci\u003eCactaceae\u003c\/i\u003e. Dr. Eggli was awarded the Cactus d’Or by the International Organization for Succulent Plant Study in 2015.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Reto Nyffeler \u003c\/b\u003estudied biology at the University of Zürich. In 1997 he received a doctor’s degree with a Ph.D. thesis on the systematics of the tribe \u003ci\u003eNotocacteae\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eCactaceae\u003c\/i\u003e) from South America. Subsequently, he spent 4 years as a postdoctoral student at Harvard University and Stanford University and conducted during that stay the first comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study of \u003ci\u003eCactaceae\u003c\/i\u003e. Since 2002 he is curator for the vascular plant collections at the United Herbaria of the University and ETH Zurich, and he is a lecturer for plant systematics at the Department of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, University of Zurich. His research focuses on the systematics of succulent plants and on the history of botany. During the past two decades he published several papers on succulents from different plant families in collaboration with Dr. Urs Eggli.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 March 2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Berlin Heidelberg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783662564844\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMultiple \/ component \/ retail \/ product\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1462\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51215951855756,"sku":"9783662564844","price":404.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662564844.jpg?v=1783009357","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783662564844","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
