Zusatztext This book is clear, accessible, and engaging, and is perfectly suited for undergraduates. With new chapters on next generation sequencing and genomics, the third edition is an up-to-date resource for teaching and learning about molecular ecology. Informationen zum Autor Graham Rowe is Lecturer in Biological Sciences at University of Derby. Michael Sweet is Lecturer in Invertebrate Biology at University of Derby. Trevor Beebee is Professor Emeritus of Evolution, Behavior, and Environment at the University of Sussex. Klappentext An Introduction to Molecular Ecology combines theoretical concepts with practice-driven examples to showcase the latest molecular and genomic techniques and their impact on the study of ecology. The opening chapters introduce the essential molecular and genetic concepts that underpin the subject and describe key molecular tools and methods available to the ecologist. Capturing the broad scope of the field, the book goes on to explore the use of molecular tools in the context of behavioural ecology, population genetics, phylogeography, conservation, and microbial ecology. The third edition includes coverage of exciting new technological and analytical developments, such as next generation sequencing, which have revolutionized the field over the last decade. Molecular ecology is now in a position to tackle some truly ecological questions for the first time since its inception. Blending conceptual detail with the most instructive examples, An Introduction to Molecular Ecology is an ideal resource for those new to the subject needing to develop a strong working understanding of the field.

Relazione
The authors of the third edition of this well-established textbook have achieved the near impossible. They encapsulate with clarity and generous illustration the breadth and excitement of contemporary molecular ecology, with substantive updates that now embrace fully the omics era. Professor Gary R. Carvalho, Bangor University
