ISBN Evolutionary Genetics ( Concepts and Case Studies ) book English Hardcover

The diverse field of evolutionary genetics is unified by two goals: to understand the impact that evolutionary processes have on genetic variation and to understand the consequences of these patterns for various evolutionary process. Research in evolutionary genetics stretches across a continuum of scale from studies of DNA sequence evolution (Ch. 7 and 9) to studies of multivariate phenotypic evolution (Ch. 20) across a continuum of time from ancient events that lead to current species diversity (Ch. 28) to rapid evolution seen over relatively short time scales in experimental evolution studies (Ch. 31).
