...'an excellent introduction to the topic... This refreshing text
is highly recommended for graduate students and those who wish to
keep up to date with the most recent research into the origins of
biological diversity from genes to species' Biologist
'... an excellent compilation of views of speciation and
biodiversity...I would describe it as essential reading for anyone
with an interest in speciation' The Genetical Society of Great
Britain
'... an excellent summary... It is this diversity of approaches
that makes this book worth reading; in very few texts do we find
such a range of up to date reviews of a subject that should be of
interested to all ecologists and evolutionary biologists... This
refreshing text is highly recommended for graduate students and
those who wish to keep up to date with the most recent research
into the origins of biological diversity from genes to species'
