Publisher Synopsis
[Schluter's] book is an ideal basis for graduate student seminar courses, and can both educate and spark spirited discussion ... finely crafted, deeply thoughtful. Evolution ... a scholarly work of great clarity and force of argument. It is essential reading for all students of evolution ... a book that will take its place near the ones by Dobzhansky, Lack, Mayr and Simpson that inspired it. Peter R. Grant, Quarterly Review of Biology ... in each decade, one book stands out in terms of its influence on the field of evolutionary biology ... Although only one-year old, this decade might have already produced its member of this pantheon: Dolph Schluter" The Ecology of Adaptive Radiation ... it will lead to new avenues of research and new ways of thinking about adaptive radiation. Jonathan B. Losos, Trends in Ecology and Evolution ... presents and impressively thorough evaluation of the empirical evidence that has accumulated since Simpson's snythesis...an absolute "must read" for all graduate students in the fields of ecology and evolution and for anyone interested in evolutionary diversity. It will become a classic. Axel Meyer, Science ... should be read and regularly consulted by anybody interested in adaptive radiation, in natural selection, and in speciation.
