Frogs, Flies and Dandelions by Menno Schilthuizen
How do new animal and plant species come about? How quickly does it happen? The evolution of new species (speciation), is a central theme in evolution. This work uses academic debate to explore the path of speciation research.MENNO SCHILTHUIZEN is a professor of evolutionary biology at Leiden University and a senior research scientist at Naturalis Biodiversity Center in the Netherlands.
