| Meer info | Speciation is the process by which co-existing daughter species evolve from one ancestral species. The Birds of Northern Melanesia provides by far the most comprehensive study of the 195 breeding land and fresh-water bird species of the Bismarck and Solomon Archipelagos east of New Guinea. This fauna offers decisive advantages for understanding speciation, including famous examples of geographic variation discussed in textbooks of evolutionary biology. The book results from 30 years of collaboration between the evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr and the ecologist Jared Diamond. It shows how Northern Melanesian bird distributions provide snapshots of all stages in speciation, emphasizing on the wide diversity of speciation outcomes. Questions illuminated include why some species are much more prone to speciate than others, why some water barriers are much more effective at promoting speciation than others, and whether hypothesized taxon cycles, faunal dominance, and legacies of Pleistocene land bridges are real. A huge database with distributions of all 195 species on 76 islands, together with their taxonomy, colonization routes, ecological attributes, abundance, and overwater dispersal. Colour plates depict 88 species and allospecies, many of which have never been seen before. Format: 26x19 cm. Weight: 1410 gr. |
