This is the first book on "phylogenetic supertrees", a recent, but controversial development for inferring evolutionary trees. Rather than analyze the combined primary character data directly, supertree construction proceeds by combining the tree topologies derived from those da…

"Perspectives in Animal Phylogeny and Evolution successfully integrates morphological, fossil, and molecular evidence to produce a novel reinterpretation of animal evolution. This accessible text is suitable for graduate students taking advanced courses in evolutionary developme…
Animal phylogeny is currently undergoing a major revolution due to the availability of an exponentially increasing amount of molecular data and the application of novel methods of phylogenetic reconstruction, as well as the many spectacular advances in palaeontology and molecula…
Animal phylogeny is undergoing a major revolution due to the availability of an ever increasing amount of molecular data, the application of novel methods of phylogenetic reconstruction, and advances in palaeontology and molecular developmental biology. This book revises the maj…
Perspectives in Animal Phylogeny and Evolution integrates morphological, fossil and molecular evidence to produce a novel reinterpretation of animal evolution. Central to the book's approach is an 'evo-devo' perspective on animal evolution (with all the fresh insights this has g…

" ... The vast majority of bee species on earth live solitary lives. A single female constructs her own nest, defends it against intruders, parasites, and predators, and forages for pollen, nectar, or floral oils as food for her offpsring ... Solitary bees are fascinating ... [e…
"'The Solitary Bees' uses a modern phylogenetic framework to shed new light on the life histories and evolution of solitary bees. It explains the foraging behavior of solitary bees, their development, and competitive mating tactics. The book describes how they construct complex …
