Evolution in Action Case studies in Adaptive Radiation, Speciation and the Origin of Biodiversity /
We have come a long way towards better understanding how new species originate, i.e. speciation, which long remained Darwins mystery of mysteries. Since speciation is the underlying mechanism for radiations, it is the ultimate causation for the biological diversity of life that surrounds us. With...
