Description

The advances made possible by the development of molecular techniques have in recent years revolutionized quantitative genetics and its relevance for population genetics. Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory takes a modern approach to population genetics, incorporating modern molecular biology, species-level evolutionary biology, and a thorough acknowledgment of quantitative genetics as the theoretical basis for population genetics. Logically organized into three main sections on population structure and history, genotype-phenotype interactions, and selection/adaptationExtensive use of real examples to illustrate conceptsWritten in a clear and accessible manner and devoid of complex mathematical equationsIncludes the author's introduction to background material as well as a conclusion for a handy overview of the field and its modern applicationsEach chapter ends with a set of review questions and answersOffers helpful general references and Internet links
