The Princeton guide to evolution / by Losos, Jonathan B.(CARDINAL)351757;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Phylogenetics and the history of life -- Natural selection and adaptation -- Evolutionary processes -- Genes, genomes, phenotypes -- Speciation and macroevolution -- Evolution of behavior, society, and humans -- Evolution and modern society."The Princeton Guide to Evolution is a comprehensive, concise, and authoritative reference to the major subjects and key concepts in evolutionary biology, from genes to mass extinctions. Edited by a distinguished team of evolutionary biologists, with contributions from leading researchers, the guide contains more than 100 clear, accurate, and up-to-date articles on the most important topics in seven major areas: phylogenetics and the history of life; selection and adaptation; evolutionary processes; genes, genomes, and phenotypes; speciation and macroevolution; evolution of behavior, society, and humans; and evolution and modern society. Complete with more than 100 illustrations (including eight pages in color), glossaries of key terms, suggestions for further reading on each topic, and an index, this is an essential volume for undergraduate and graduate students, scientists in related fields, and anyone else with a serious interest in evolution. Explains key topics in more than 100 concise and authoritative articles written by a team of leading evolutionary biologists; Contains more than 100 illustrations, including eight pages in color; Each article includes an outline, glossary, bibliography, and cross-references; Covers phylogenetics and the history of life; selection and adaptation; evolutionary processes; genes, genomes, and phenotypes; speciation and macroevolution; evolution of behavior, society, and humans; and evolution and modern society."--Publisher's website.Designed to be accessible and useful to students, scientists, and anyone with a serious interest in evolution. The articles, each written by authorities in their respective fields, balance accessibility with depth of analysis.

Molecular markers, natural history, and evolution / by Avise, John C.(CARDINAL)332849;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 543-661) and indexes.Introduction -- The history of interest in genetic variation -- Molecular techniques -- Philosophies and methods of molecular data analysis -- Individuality and parentage -- Kinship and intraspecific genealogy -- Speciation and hybridization -- Species phylogenies and macroevolution -- Molecular markers in conservation genetics.Molecular markers have opened exciting new windows through which to view the natural biological world. This treatment addresses the many applications for genetic markers (from polymorphic proteins and DNA) from the perspectives of population biology, behavioral ecology, organismal evolution, and phylogeny. Opening chapters review the history and purview of molecular approaches, and compare and contrast various laboratory techniques for revealing molecular markers. Subsequent chapters review the extensive scientific literature of molecular ecology and evolution, and describe a cornucopia of captivating discoveries about nature's workings, past and present.
