Klappentext zu „Evolution “
Addresses major themes: including the history of evolution, evolutionary processes, adaptation, and evolution as an explanatory framework-at levels of biological organization ranging from genomes to ecological communities. Extensively revised for clarity and currency, this new edition of Evolution presents this field of evolution as a living, breathing science. Updated coverage in evolutionary genetics and genomics illustrates the rapidly moving science of evolution and emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical tests of hypotheses, acquainting students with the process of science. Written for undergraduate students in Psychology and Biology, the text is available in a dynamic and interactive Enhanced eBook that allows student to hone their problem solving and data analysis skills while seeing Evolution in the context of their life through video, animations and more.

Autoren-Porträt von Douglas Futuyma, Mark Kirkpatrick
Douglas Futuyma is recognized as one of the world's leading evolutionary biologists. His research is focused on the evolution and coevolution of ecological interactions among different species, especially between plants and herbivorous insects. His work with insects and host plants began as research to account for all of the genetic variation that has occurred in evolution. He is well known as the author of a leading college textbook on biological evolution and of a trade book that addresses creationist opposition to teaching avolution. Mark Kirkpatrick is T.S. Painter Centennial Professor of Genetics at the University of Texas, Austin and heads the Kirkpatrick Lab. His work uses mathematical models and develops statistical tools to test hypotheses. Topics of focus include: chromosome evolution, speciation, sexual selection and species ranges.
