Evolutionary biologists have produced a solid body of evidence to explain patterns of diversification, both within and among species. Recent textbooks are weighted towards studies of animals, although many studies have also been carried out on plants. This book aims to set the record straight by placing the wealth of data that have been collected on plants into the unifying framework of game theory. This allows testing of the theory of natural selection in some cases, while in other cases highlighting the need for additional data collection and theoretical development.
