Description - Molecular Ecology 2E by Joanna R. Freeland
Molecular Ecology, 2nd Edition provides an accessible
introduction to the many diverse aspects of this subject. The book
takes a logical and progressive approach to uniting examples from a
wide range of taxonomic groups. The straightforward writing style
offers in depth analysis whilst making often challenging subjects
such as population genetics and phylogenetics highly comprehensible
to the reader.
The first part of the book introduces the essential
underpinnings of molecular ecology and gives a review of genetics
and discussion of the molecular markers that are most frequently
used in ecological research, and a chapter devoted to the newly
emerging field of ecological genomics. The second half of
the book covers specific applications of molecular ecology,
covering phylogeography, behavioural ecology and conservation
genetics.
The new edition provides a thoroughly up-to-date introduction to
the field, emphasising new types of analyses and including current
examples and techniques whilst also retaining the information-rich,
highly readable style which set the first edition apart.
Incorporates both theoretical and applied perspectives
Highly accessible, user-friendly approach and presentation
Includes self-assessment activities with hypothetical cases
based on actual species and realistic data sets
Uses case studies to place the theory in context
Provides coverage of population genetics, genomics,
phylogeography, behavioural ecology and conservation genetics.
