Molecular Evolution and Adaptive Radiation surveys recent advances in the stu dy of adaptive radiation by bringing together a set of international experts inv estigating a wide range of organisms in a variety of geographic settings. Givnis h and Sytsma show how family trees derived fro…m molecular characters can be used to analyze the origin and pattern of ecological and morphological diversificati on within a lineage in a noncircular fashion. They synthesize the recent explosi on of research in this area, involving organisms as diverse as epiphytic and ter restrial orchids, water hyacinths, African cichlids, New World monkeys, tropical fruit bats, carnivorous bromeliads, Hawaiian silverswords and fruit flies, Nort h American Daphnia, Caribbean anoles, Canadian sticklebacks, and Australian mars upials. This volume will be of interest to graduate students and professional sc ientists in ecology, evolutionary biology, systematics, and biogeography.
