During  the summers of  2005 and  2009 we gathered scientists specializing on plants, animals, bacteria and, protists to discuss the peculiarities of evolutionary mechanisms within each domain of life. This book contains some of the most important lectures presented at the first two World Summits on Evolution. 410 0$aSocial and Ecological Interactions in the Galapagos Islands,$x2195-1055 ;$v2 606 $aEvolution 606 $aNatural history$zGalapagos Islands 615 0$aEvolution. 615 0$aNatural history 676 $a574.98665 701 $aTrueba$b Gabriel$01757508 701 $aVinueza Montufar$b Carlos$f1965-$01757509 712 02$aUniversidad San Francisco de Quito. 712 12$aWorld Summit on Evolution$d(1st :$f2005 :$eGalapagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences) 712 12$aWorld Summit on Evolution$d(2nd :$f2009 :$eGalapagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437791203321 996 $aEvolution from the Galapagos$94195383 997 $aUNINA
