Molecular Ecology provides a comprehensive introduction to the many diverse aspects of this subject.
The book unites theory with examples from a wide range of taxa in a logical and progressive manner,
and its accessible writing style makes subjects such as population genetics and phylogenetics highly
comprehensible to its readers. The first part of the book introduces the essential underpinnings of molecular
ecology, starting with a review of genetics and a discussion of the molecular markers that are most frequently
used in ecological research. This leads into an overview of population genetics in ecology. The second half
of the book then moves on to specific applications of molecular ecology, covering phylogeography,
behavioural ecology and conservation genetics. The final chapter looks at molecular ecology in a wider
context by using a number of case studies that are relevant to various economic and social concerns, including
wildlife forensics, agriculture, and overfishing
- comprehensive overview of the different aspects of molecular ecology
- attention to both theoretical and applied concerns
- accessible writing style and logical structure
- numerous up-to-date examples and references
This will be an invaluable reference for those studying molecular ecology, population
genetics, evolutionary biology, conservation genetics and behavioural ecology, as well as
researchers working in these fields.
