Description:Traditional ecological approaches to species evolution have frequently studied too few species, relatively small areas, and relatively short time spans. In "The Coevolutionary Process, " John N. Thompson advances a new conceptual approach to the evolution of species interactionsOCothe geographic mosaic theory of coevolution. Thompson demonstrates how an integrated study of life histories, genetics, and the geographic structure of populations yields a broader understanding of coevolution, or the development of reciprocal adaptations and specializations in interdependent species. Using examples of species interactions from an enormous range of taxa, Thompson examines how and when extreme specialization evolves in interdependent species and how geographic differences in specialization, adaptation, and the outcomes of interactions shape coevolution. Through the geographic mosaic theory, Thompson bridges the gap between the study of specialization and coevolution in local communities and the study of broader patterns seen in comparisons of the phylogenies of interacting species."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
