Book Description:
Reconstructingphylogenetic trees from DNA sequences has become a popular exercise inmany branches of biology, and here the well-known geneticist John Aviseexplains why. Molecular phylogenies provide a genealogical backdrop forinterpreting the evolutionary histories of many other types ofbiological traits (anatomical, behavioral, ecological, physiological,biochemical and even geographical). Guiding readers on a naturalhistory tour along dozens of evolutionary pathways, the authordescribes how creatures ranging from microbes to elephants came topossess their current phenotypes. Essential reading for collegestudents, professional biologists and anyone interested in naturalhistory and biodiversity, this book is packed with fascinating examplesof evolutionary puzzles from across the animal kingdom; how the toucangot its enormous bill, how reptiles grow back lost limbs and why Arcticfish don't freeze.
