520 |a "This volume offers additional expertise in evolutionary genetics and genomics, the fastest-developing area of evolutionary biology. Directed toward an undergraduate audience, the text emphasises the interplay between theory and empirical tests of hypotheses, thus acquainting students with the process of science. It addresses major themes - including the history of evolution, evolutionary processes, adaptation and evolution as an explanatory framework - at levels of biological organisation ranging from genomes to ecological communities." --Descripción del editor.
