Synopsis

The gold standard in undergraduate-level evolutionary biology textbooks.

This new fifth edition presents the field of evolution as a living, breathing science. Extensively revised for clarity and currency, Evolution, Fifth Edition, includes updated coverage of evolutionary genetics and genomics to illustrate the rapidly moving science of evolution. It also emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical test hypotheses, acquainting students with the process of science. Evolution is available in a dynamic interactive enhanced e-Book that helps students hone their problem-solving and data analysis skills while seeing evolution in the context of their life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Douglas Futuyma is recognized as one of the world's leading evolutionary biologists. His research is focused on the evolution and coevolution of ecological interactions among different species, especially between plants and herbivorous insects. His work with insects and host plants began as research to account for all of the genetic variation that has occurred in evolution. He is well known as the author of a leading college textbook on biological evolution and of a trade book that addresses creationist opposition to teaching evolution.

Mark Kirkpatrick is T.S. Painter Centennial Professor of Genetics at the University of Texas, Austin and heads the Kirkpatrick Lab. His work uses mathematical models and develops statistical tools to test hypotheses. Topics of focus include: chromosome evolution, speciation, sexual selection and species ranges.
