Description: Ecology of Adaptive Radiation, Paperback by Schluter, Dolph, ISBN 0198505221, ISBN-13 9780198505228, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Adaptive radiation is the evolution of diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage. It can cause a single ancestral species to differentiate into an impressively vast array of species inhabiting a variety of environments. Much of lifes diversity has arisen during adaptive radiations. Some
of the most famous recent examples include the East African cichilid fishes, the Hawaiian silverswords, and Darwins Galapagos finches. This book evaluates the causes of adaptive radiation. It focuses on the ecological theory of adaptive radiation, a body of ideas that began with Darwin and were
developed through the early part of the 20th century. This theory proposes that phenotypic divergence and speciation in adaptive radiation are caused ultimately by divergent natural selection arising from differences in environment and competition between species. The text re-evaluates the
ecological theory, along with its most significant extensions and challenges, in the light of all the recent evidence. It is the first full exploration of the causes of adaptive radiation in decades.
