Bringing together the viewpoints of leading ecologists concerned
with the processes that generate patterns of diversity, and
evolutionary biologists who focus on mechanisms of speciation, this
book opens up discussion in order to broaden understanding of how
speciation affects patterns of biological diversity, especially the
uneven distribution of diversity across time, space and taxa
studied by macroecologists. The contributors discuss questions such
as: Are species equivalent units, providing meaningful measures of
diversity? To what extent do mechanisms of speciation affect the
functional nature and distribution of species diversity? How can
speciation rates be measured using molecular phylogenies or data
from the fossil record? What are the factors that explain variation
in rates? Written for graduate students and academic researchers,
the book promotes a more complete understanding of the interaction
between mechanisms and rates of speciation and these patterns in
biological diversity.
