This flightless beetle group consists of many geographic races. They show divergence in key traits for reproductive isolation--body size and genital morphology, which leads to coexistence of two or more species. This beetle group provides an important material to study how a lineage of organisms diversify and form multi-species assemblage, and thereby multiply their species richness. The book introduces novel genomic approaches to resolve questions about evolution of \u003ci\u003eOhomopterus\u003c\/i\u003e. The readers will find that this story of evolution in \u003ci\u003eCarabus\u003c\/i\u003e beetles revealed by recent approaches is much different from what was told in previous literature.\u003c\/p\u003e Exploring different cases across a wide range of lineages is important in constructing a synthetic theory of species radiation and richness, including speciation and species coexistence. This study on \u003ci\u003eOhomopterus\u003c\/i\u003e beetles contributes to the ongoing discussion to understand how and why species multiply and how species richness increases in one area of our planet.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeiji Sota\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor, Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45091301949591,"sku":"9789811666988","price":10069.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789811666988.webp?v=1769204158","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/evolutionary-biology-of-carabus-ground-beetles-how-species-richness-increases-9789811666988","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
