by Peter A. Parsons

Book Overview

Professor Parsons uses the colonizing species as a case study in the dynamics of microevolution at work in living systems. The colonizing species, a lie, and potentially disruptive force in a 'na ve' habitat, is studied primarily as an ecological phenotype and more generally as an ecological behavioural phenotype.
