Speciation in historical perspective / Will Provine -- Genetic theories of sympatric speciation / Tadeusz J. Kawecki -- Adaptive dynamics of speciation : ecological underpinnings / Stefan A.H. Geritz [and others] -- Adaptive dynamics of speciation : sexual populations / Ulf Dieckmann and Michael Doebeli -- Genetic theories of allopatric and parapatric speciation / Sergey Gavrilets -- Adaptive dynamics of speciation : spatial structure / Michael Doebeli and Ulf Dieckmann -- Speciation and radiation in African haplochromine cichlids / Jacques J.M. van Alphen, Ole Seehausen and Frietson Galis -- Natural selection and ecological speciation in sticklebacks / Howard D. Rundle and Dolph Schluter -- Adaptive speciation in northern freshwater fishes / Sigurður S. Snorrason and Skúli Skúlason -- Sympatric speciation in insects / Guy L. Bush and Roger K. Butlin -- Adaptive speciation in agricultural pests / Martijn Egas [and others] -- Ecological speciation in flowering plants / Nickolas M. Waser and Diane R. Campbell -- Experiments on adaptation and divergence in bacterial populations / Michael Travisano -- Phylogeography and patterns of incipient speciation / Diethard Tautz -- Evolutionary diversification of Caribbean Anolis lizards. Introduction / J.B. Losos and R.S. Thorpe. Adaptation and speciation in Lesser Antillean anoles / R.S. Thorpe [and others] Adaptation and speciation in Greater Antillean anoles / J.B. Losos. Concluding comments / R.S. Thorpe and J.B. Losos -- Adaptive radiation of African montane plants / Eric. B. Knox -- Diversity and speciation of semionotid fishes in Mesozoic rift lakes / Amy R. McCune.
Summary: This book was first published in 2004. 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 groundbreaking treatment of modern speciation science.
