Citation | Trevor Price is renowned for his work on the origin of species and the impact of evolutionary processes on biodiversity. With exceptional intellectual versatility Price has been effective in combining theoretical analyses with hands-on fieldwork. He has elucidated the roles of sexual and natural selection in the evolution of reproductive isolation and identified mechanisms of selection in Darwin’s finches, and the evolution of new bird species. He has inferred timing and order of divergence in traits during adaptive radiation, the role of environment in the evolution of mating signals, and the factors controlling the pace of biodiversity build-up. |
