Dynamics of speciation and diversification in a metapopulation.

Abstract excerpt

We develop a simple framework for modeling speciation and diversification as a continuous process of accumulation of genetic (or morphological) differences accompanied by species and subpopulation extinction and/or range expansion. This framework can be used to approach a number of questions such as species-area distribution, species-range size distribution, the rate of ecological turnover, asymmetries of range...
