Description for The Geographic Mosaic Of Coevolution
Paperback. Coevolution - reciprocal evolutionary change in interacting species driven by natural selection - is one of the most important ecological and genetic processes organizing the earth's biodiversity: most plants and animals require coevolved interactions with other species to survive and reproduce. Num Pages: 400 pages, 11 halftones, 94 line drawings, 7 tables. BIC Classification: PSAJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 227 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 592.
Coevolution - reciprocal evolutionary change in interacting species driven by natural selection - is one of the most important ecological and genetic processes organizing the earth's biodiversity: most plants and animals require coevolved interactions with other species to survive and reproduce. The Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution analyzes how the biology of species provides the raw material for long-term coevolution, evaluates how local coadaptation forms the basic module of coevolutionary change, and explores how the coevolutionary process reshapes locally coevolving interactions across the earth's constantly changing landscapes. Picking up where his influential The Coevolutionary Process left off, John N. Thompson synthesizes ... Read more

Reviews for The Geographic Mosaic Of Coevolution
"John Thompson's lucid arguments will effectively put to rest the idea that species cannot coevolve with more than one or a few species simultaneously. He has provided a fresh and compelling framework for viewing the evolution of species interaction." - Craig Benkman, University of Wyoming"
