Symbiosis as a source of evolutionary innovation : speciation and morphogenesis

Lynn Margulis (Editor), René Fester (Editor)
These original contributions by symbiosis biologists and evolutionary theorists address the adequacy of the prevailing neo-Darwinian concept of evolution in the light of growing evidence that hereditary symbiosis, supplemented by the gradual accumulation of heritable mutation, results in the origin of new species and morphological novelty
