"A landmark work. This is the first systematic summary of the
mathematical theory of speciation, and Dr. Gavrilets, whose work
has changed the field in recent years, is the most qualified person
to have written it. There is no comparable book."--Gunter Paul
Wagner, Yale University
"Undoubtedly a significant contribution. The book will be
valuable not only in speciation theory but beyond the theoretical
realm, to empirical scientists working on speciation, to
evolutionary biologists more broadly, and to mathematicians
interested in the applications. The scholarship is excellent, and
the logical organization is impeccable."--Roger Butlin, University
of Leeds
"This is a book that has been needed for a long time, but it
required someone of Sergey Gavrilets's breadth and depth of
understanding of both evolutionary biology and mathematical
modeling. Gavrilets has already infused evolutionary biology with
highly innovative ways of thinking about the structure of natural
selection and the dynamics of evolution, using novel mathematical
models to probe difficult ideas. Here he analyzes past work
critically and adopts a clear viewpoint of his own, complete with a
rich set of models that support that viewpoint. He does so in a way
that makes the ideas accessible both to empirical evolutionary
researchers and applied mathematicians."--John N. Thompson,
University of California, Santa Cruz
"This is the first book I have read about speciation that
actually presents the topic in an objective way, rather than
carrying on the fifty-year tradition of strong opinions without
critical evidence. Gavrilets does a splendid job of building all of
the models and discussing their implications."--John A.Endler,
University of California, Santa Barbara
