Synopsis:

"Generating Diversity" deals with the enormous diversity of adaptations or organisms to common features of their environment, such as winter and the capture and processing of food. The generation of diversity is explained at a number of different levels, in particular illustrating how patterns of reproduction can alter genetic composition. An important theme is that energy and nutrients obtained by organisms can be put to a wide variety of uses, such as defence and growth. These uses are traded off against each other, helping to generate the extraordinary array of organisms on the planet.
