A Comprehensive Approach to Evolutionary Biology

Evolutionary biology is a study of the evolutionary processes that have resulted in the biological diversity on Earth. It integrates the concepts and principles of genetics, ecology, paleontology and systematics. Evolutionary processes studied under this domain include natural selection, common descent and speciation. Modern evolutionary biology also delves into the genetic architecture of adaptation, sexual selection, genetic drift, molecular evolution and biogeography. Due to the merger of biological science with applied sciences, many domains of evolutionary biology have emerged such as evolutionary robotics, engineering, economics, architecture and algorithms. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of evolutionary biology. It explores all the important aspects of this field in the present day scenario. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying evolutionary biology as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.
