Book
Fitness Landscapes and the Origin of Species
Sergey Gavrilets. Princeton University Press, 2004. Monographs in Population Biology, Vol. 41.
Overview
This book presents a broad mathematical treatment of speciation using the framework of fitness landscapes. It surveys earlier theoretical work and develops new results on the dynamics of speciation, including sympatric speciation and the effects of sexual conflict.
In contrast to earlier work based mostly on numerical simulation, the book emphasizes simple mathematical models that support analytical investigation and biological interpretation.
