Synopsis

Evolutionary Biology, ofwhichthisisthetwenty-thirdvolume, continues toofferitsreadersawiderangeoforiginalarticles, reviews, andcom mentariesonevolution, inthebroadestsenseofthatterm. Thetopicsof thereviewsrangefromanthropology, molecularevolution, andpaleo biologytoprinciplesofsystematics. Inrecentvolumes, abroadspectrumofarticleshaveappearedon suchsubjectsasbiochemicalsystematics, comparativemorphologyand embryology, evolutionaryecology, biogeography, andpaleobiology. We havealsoattemptedtoprovideaforumforconflictingideas. Articlessuch asthese, oftentoolongforstandardjournals, arethematerialfor Evo lutionary Biology.
