Opis

How do new animal and plant species come about? How quickly does it happen? And what are species anyway? Schilthuizen, scientist and journalist, launches into the debate that has baffled biologists ever since Darwin, aiming to bring the subject to life and show its significance for understanding biodiversity.

Recenzje

Review from hardback edition [Schilthuizen] provides lucid verbal explanations of theoretical approaches and presents the fascinating details from numerous empirical studies. Although written for the non-specialist, his comprehensive and up-to-date account also offers researchers working on speciation an idea of forthcoming developments in their field.
