Progress and Prospects in Evolutionary Biology - The Drosophila Model

Klappentext This book focuses on drosophila as an especially useful model organism for exploring questions of evolutionary biology in the full range of evolutionary studies: population genetics, ecology, ecological genetics, speciation, phylogenetics, genome evolution, molecular evolution, and development. The author presents an integrated view of evolutionary biology as elucidated in this single organism. Special effort is made to point out holes in our knowledge and areas particularly ripe for new investigation. Zusammenfassung An addition to the OXFORD SERIES IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION for all interested in evolutionary biology spanning the range of evolutionary studies: population genetics, ecology, ecological genetics, speciation, phylogenetics, genome evolution, molecular evolution and development. Empirical results are emphasised and put into context.
