After his famous visit to the Galapagos Islands, Darwin speculated
that "one might fancy that, from an original paucity of birds in
this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for
different ends." This book is the classic account of how much we
have since learned about the evolution of these remarkable birds.
Based upon over a decade's research, Grant shows how interspecific
competition and natural selection act strongly enough on
contemporary populations to produce observable and measurable
evolutionary change. In this new edition, Grant outlines new
discoveries made in the thirteen years since the book's
publication. Ecology and Evolution of Darwin's Finches is an
extraordinary account of evolution in action. Originally published
in 1999. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
