Inhalt:
"The Ecology of Adaptive Radiation evaluates the causes of adaptive radiation. It focuses on the 'ecological' theory of adaptive radiation, a body of ideas that began with Darwin and was developed through the first half of the 20th Century. This theory proposes that the origin of species in adaptive radiation and the evolution of phenotypic differences between them are caused ultimately by divergent natural selection arising from differences in environment and competition between species." "In The Ecology of Adaptive Radiation the author re-evaluates the ecological theory, along with its most significant extensions and challenges, in the light of all the recent evidence. This book is the first full exploration of the causes of adaptive radiation to be published for decades, written by one of the world's leading young evolutionary biologists."--BOOK JACKET.
