Evolutionary Biology of Carabus Ground Beetles
Springer Verlag, Singapore
978-981-16-6698-8 (ISBN)
Exploring different cases across a wide range of lineages is important in constructing a synthetic theory of species radiation and richness, includingspeciation and species coexistence. This study on Ohomopterus beetles contributes to the ongoing discussion to understand how and why species multiply and how species richness increases in one area of our planet.

“The studies presented are inspiring in their scope, trajectory, and results, and I recommend this book to anyone interested in better understanding the bases of species richness and community assembly.” (David H. Kavanaugh, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 98 (2), June, 2023)
