| Description: |
Unraveling
the origin of biodiversity is fundamental for understanding our
biosphere. This book clarifies how adaptive processes, rather than
geographic isolation, can cause speciation. Adaptive speciation occurs
when biological interactions induce disruptive selection and the
evolution of assortative mating, thus triggering the splitting of
lineages. Internationally recognized leaders in the field explain
exciting developments in modeling speciation, together with celebrated
examples of rapid speciation by natural selection. Written for students
and researchers in biology, physics, and mathematics, this book is a
ground-breaking treatment of modern speciation science.
