Adaptive Diversification (MPB-48) /

Adaptive Diversification (MPB-48) / / Michael Doebeli.

Understanding the mechanisms driving biological diversity remains a central problem in ecology and evolutionary biology. Traditional explanations assume that differences in selection pressures lead to different adaptations in geographically separated locations. This book takes a different approach a...
