Evolutionary Biology: Applied Concepts and Mechanisms (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781641162029)

Life on Earth has undergone massive transformations, from a single common ancestor to the emergence of diverse organisms that now inhabit the Earth. This is due to various evolutionary processes, such as common descent, natural selection and speciation. Besides these, sexual selection, biogeography and genetic drift are the mechanisms contributing to evolution. Modern evolutionary biology explores these factors along with the genetic architecture of adaptation and molecular evolution. This field integrates studies from other domains, including phylogenetics, biological systematics and paleobiology. This book covers in detail some existing theories and innovative concepts revolving around evolutionary biology. The topics included in this book on the concepts and mechanisms of evolutionary biology are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
