The diversity of species of plants and animals is the net result of the origin of new species by the splitting of existing lineages (speciation) and the loss of species through extinction. Why there are more species in some groups of organisms, in some places or at some times depends on the balance of these processes. This book explores the interaction between mechanisms and rates of speciation and these patterns of biological diversity, and is unusual in that it brings together the viewpoints of ecologists interested in the processes that generate patterns of diversity and evolutionary biologists who focus on mechanisms of speciation. It is intended to stimulate dialogue between these groups and so promote a more complete understanding of biological diversity.

Advanced Reading,

This review is from: Speciation and Patterns of Diversity (Ecological Reviews) (Paperback)
This provides a good overview of some of the current theories in speciation and evolution. The format is good and most of the articles are well written. However, it is not for the casual reader because the articles are data-specific and can be quite intensive. It is good for graduate-level studies.
