« Molecular biology is undergoing exponential growth in both the volume and complexity of biological data. This book offers the first comprehensive overview of data mining, preprocessing, postprocessing, and storage for biological data. It surveys the latest approaches and techn…
Evolutionary biology has long sought to explain how new traits and new species arise. Darwin maintained that competition is key to understanding this biodiversity and held that selection acting to minimize competition causes competitors to become increasingly different, thereby…
This book describes the theory and practice of methods for quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection and analysis, as well as marker assisted selection, in animal genetics and breeding. It is divided into 16 chapters: historical overview; principles of parameter estimation; random…

The purpose of this book is to present a new mechanistic theory of mutation-driven evolution based on recent advances in genomics and evolutionary developmental biology. The theory asserts, perhaps somewhat controversially, that the driving force behind evolution is mutation, w…
Evolutionary Behavioral Ecology is intended to be used a text for graduate students and a sourcebook for professional scientists seeking an understanding of the evolutionary and ecological processes shaping behavior across a wide array of organisms and a diverse set of behaviors…
Molecular studies reveal highly ordered geographic patterns in plant and animal distributions. The tropics illustrate these patterns of community immobilism leading to allopatric differentiation, as well as other patterns of mobilism, range expansion, and overlap of taxa. Integr…
Much of the research data gleaned from hundreds of bulletins, conference proceedings, newsletters and reports during the 20th century is presented in this book. The growth and development, climatic requirements, site selection, cultivar development and selection, nursery product…
The 'Adaptive Landscape' has been a central concept in population genetics and evolutionary biology since this powerful metaphor was first formulated by Sewall Wright in 1932. Eighty years later, it has become a central framework in evolutionary quantitative genetics, selection …
Encouraging interdisciplinary research, this book introduces state-of-the-art phylogenetics to the Bayesian statistical community and, likewise, presents state-of-the-art Bayesian statistics to the phylogenetics community. The book emphasizes model selection, reflecting recent i…
Une édition remaniée de cet ouvrage paru en 1976, où l'auteur explique sa théorie du gène égoïste. Pour lui, cette théorie est issue directement de celle de Darwin, à propos de la sélection naturelle, mais il y substitue le gène à la place de l'individu.
