Biography
Donald H. Les is a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut. He is the author or co-author of hundreds of peer reviewed journal articles, reports, and abstracts.
"Aquatic Dicotyledons of North America will be indispensable to North American botanists, wildlife biologists, consulting firms, and other private businesses or government agencies that need highly reputable information about wetland plants. In my view all North American botanists should familiarize themselves with the volume, irrespective of their level of interest in wetland plants... In summary, if it deals with North American wetland plants, you’ll probably find the information therein. It is truly a remarkable achievement." – Neil Snow (Department of Biology, Pittsburg State University) Systematic Botany
