Explores the origins and development of geographic variation, divergence, and speciation. This work shows how geographic differentiation and speciation may develop in spite of continuous gene flow. It discusses the relationships among gene flow, dispersal, and migration.

(Paperback)

Examines the processes that determine geographic patterns of genetic variation, providing a comprehensive guide to their study and interpretation. This book focuses on the mathematical relationships of spatial statistical measures of patterns to stochastic processes.
