Speciation. 2004. 45 illustr. 545 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Aimed at professional biologists, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates, 'Speciation' covers both plants and animals, and deals with all relevant areas of research, including biogeography, field work, systematics, theory, and genetic and molecular studies. It gives special emphasis to topics that are either controversial or the subject of active research, including sympatric speciation, reinforcement, the role of hybridization in speciation, the search for genes causing reproductive isolation, and mounting evidence for the role of natural and sexual selection in the origin of species.
