Numerical problems throughout the text enable readers to test their growing mastery of the subject. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe major topics are population genetics, population and community ecology, and species equilibrium theory. Building from basic principles to advanced topics, the \u003cem\u003ePrimer\u003c\/em\u003e fills a gap between introductory biology texts and advanced works in population biology. It can serve as a primary textbook for elementary courses in population biology. Or, in courses on genetics, evolution and ecology--where there is a need for all students to start at a reasonably high level of competence--it can serve as a supplementary text. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cem\u003ePrimer\u003c\/em\u003e introduces many advanced topics at the elementary level without loss of rigor: genetic drift, measurement of rates of evolution, competition theory, reproductive value, and the theory of species equilibrium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward O.
