'Species' are central to understanding the origin and dynamics of
biological diversity; explaining why lineages split into multiple
distinct species is one of the main goals of evolutionary biology.
However the existence of species is often taken for granted, and
precisely what is meant by species and whether they really exist as
a pattern of nature has rarely been modelled or critically tested.
This novel book presents a synthetic overview of the evolutionary
biology of species, describing what species are, how they form, the
consequences of species boundaries and diversity for evolution, and
patterns of species accumulation over time. The central thesis is
that species represent more than just a unit of taxonomy; they are
a model of how diversity is structured as well as how groups of
related organisms evolve. The author adopts an intentionally broad
approach, stepping back from the details to consider what species
constitute, both theoretically and empirically, and how we detect
them, drawing on a wealth of examples from microbes to
multicellular organisms.
