Killer Whales Are Speciating Right in Front of Us

Rüdiger Riesch is a lecturer in evolutionary biology at Royal Holloway, University of London. His research focuses on the mechanisms that create, maintain and constrain biodiversity, with a special emphasis on speciation that occurs as a result of a population exploiting a new ecological niche.
