Description
The Coevolutionary Process by John N. Thompson A new approach to understanding species evolution, this book presents the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution as a way to study reciprocal adaptations and specializations in interdependent species. Thompson examines how extreme specialization evolves in species interactions, and how geographic differences shape coevolution through adaptation and interaction outcomes. Using examples from an enormous range of taxa, he bridges the gap between local community studies and broader patterns seen in phylogenies of interacting species. By integrating life histories, genetics, and population structure, Thompson offers a comprehensive understanding of coevolution, shedding light on its development and significance in nature.
