In The Coevolutionary Process, John N. Thompson advances a new conceptual approach to the evolution of species interactions-the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution. Thompson demonstrates how an integrated study of life histories, genetics, and the geographic structure of populations yields a broader understanding of coevolution, or the development of reciprocal adaptations and specializations in interdependent species. Using examples of species interactions from an enormous range of taxa, Thompson examines how and when extreme specialization evolves in interdependent species and how geographic differences in specialization, adaptation, and the outcomes of interactions shape coevolution. Through the geographic mosaic theory, Thompson bridges the gap between the study of specialization and coevolution in local communities and the study of broader patterns seen in comparisons of the phylogenies of interacting species. 606 $aCoevolution 606 $aInsect-plant relationships 610 $aspecies evolution, ecology, science, coevolution, populations, genetics, life histories, reciprocal adaptations, interdependent, adaptation, specialization, geographic mosaic theory, insect-plant relationships, darwin, nonfiction, evolutionary synthesis, phylogeny, ontogeny, natural selection, parasitism, defense, mutualisms. 615 0$aCoevolution. 615 0$aInsect-plant relationships. 676 $a575 700 $aThompson$b John N.$f1951-$01525831 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781065803321 996 $aThe coevolutionary process$93767448 997 $aUNINA
