         Coevolution drives biological diversification, structures ecological communities, and promotes major evolutionary transitions such as the evolution of sexual reproduction. Introduction to Coevolutionary Theory develops the mathematical models and key theoretical results upon which our current understanding of coevolution rests. By anchoring each chapter in the biology of a well-studied species interaction and providing a step by step guide to model development, analysis, and interpretation, Nuismer takes the mystery out of mathematical modeling and provides readers with the tools they need to develop and analyze coevolutionary models of their own.

New to This Edition

“Coevolution is a cornerstone of modern biology. Nuismer’s lucid, empirically grounded presentation now renders the underlying theory accessible to a wide scientific audience. Highly recommended!”
– Judith L. Bronstein, University of Arizona

“No species is an island: species don’t just evolve but coevolve with other species that they interact with, for example through parasitism or mutualism. Mathematical models of coevolution can be challenging but with this book Scott Nuismer offers an excellent introduction to the topic that is both lucid and highly engaging.”
– Jan Engelstäder, University of Queensland

“This book is a ‘must-have’ for anyone working in coevolutionary biology, either for empiricists to better understand the theoretical underpinnings that should guide their research or for budding theoreticians to learn how to develop new theory of their own.”
– Aneil F. Agrawal, University of Toronto
