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 the state of a rapidly
developing science that integrates approaches from evolutionary
ecology, population genetics, phylogeography, systematics,
evolutionary biochemistry and physiology, and molecular biology.
Using models, data, and hypotheses to develop a complete conceptual
framework, Thompson also draws on examples from a wide range of
taxa and environments, illustrating the expanding breadth and depth
of research in coevolutionary biology.
