Abstract

Abstract This final chapter serves three purposes. The first is to summarize the key results in the form of a sketch for a general theory for the evolution of biodiversity. The second is to place these results into the broader context of evolutionary biology by discussing explicitly the limitations of the experimental evolution approach. The third is to offer some directions forward to guide future work on the evolution of biodiversity, both for experimental evolution in particular and for evolutionary biology more generally. These also strike close to the heart of this book, and the title of this chapter—the nature of biodiversity.
