Zusatztext I would recommend this book to phylogenetists who wish to have an overview on the topics covered herein. Biometricians or statisticians curious about evolutionary problems may find some inspiration in these pages aswell. Informationen zum Autor Olivier Gascuel leads a research group at LIRMM-CNRS, Montpellier. He is an associate editor of Systematic Biology and belongs to the editorial board of BMC-Bioinformatics, BMC-Evolutionary Biology, and BMC-Algorithms for Molecular Biology. He has published 110 papers and book chapters, and authored several widely used programs in phylogenetics and bioinformatics.Mike Steel directs the Biomathematics Research Centre at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand and is an associate editor of the journal Systematic Biology. He has published 120 papers and book chapters on mathematical aspects of evolutionary biology, and is co-author of the book Phylogenetics (Oxford University Press, 2003). Klappentext Evolution is a complex process, acting at multiple scales, from DNA sequences and proteins to populations of species. This collection of 10 chapters - based around five themes - provides a detailed overview of the key topics, from the underlying concepts to the latest results.
