Analysis of Evolutionary Processes : The Adaptive Dynamics Approach and Its Applications /

Show other versions (2)

Quantitative approaches to evolutionary biology traditionally consider evolutionary change in isolation from an important pressure in natural selection: the demography of coevolving populations. In Analysis of Evolutionary Processes, Fabio Dercole and Sergio Rinaldi have written the first comprehens...
