About the Book

Recent advances in molecular genetics make the sequencing of genes a straightforward exercise. Comparisons of sequenced genes from different individuals of a species, or from different species, allow the construction of family trees or evolutionary trees which reveal genetic relationships. This volume shows for the first time how those trees, or phylogenies, can be used to answer questions about population dynamics, epidemiology, development, biodiversity, conservation, and the evolution of genetic systems. The techniques for deciding what these new trees can tell us come together in a unified framework so that a common set of methods can be applied, whatever area of biology interests the research worker.

Table of Contents:
1: What this book is about 2: New phylogenies: an introductory look at the coalescent 3: Genealogies and geography 4: The coalescent process and background selection 5: Inferring population history from molecular phylogenies 6: Applications of intraspecific phylogenetics 7: Inferring phylogenies from DNA sequence data: the effects of sampling 8: Uses for evolutionary trees 9: Cross-species transmission and recombination of 'AIDS' viruses 10: Using interspecies phylogenies to test macroevolutionary hypotheses 11: Using phylogenetic trees to reconstruct the history of infectious disease epidemics 12: Relating geographic patterns to phylogenetic processes 13: Uses of molecular phylogenies for conservation 14: Testing the time axis of phylogenies 15: Comparative evolution of larval and adult life-history stages and small subunit ribosomal RNA amongst post-Palaeozoic echinoids 16: Molecular phylogenies and host-parasite cospeciation: gophers and lice as a model system 17: A microevolutionary link, between phylogenies and comparative data 18: Comparative test of evolutionary lability and rats using molecular phylogenies 19: Community evolution in Greater Antilean anolis lizards: phylogenetic patterns and experimental tests 20: The evolution of body plans: HOM/Hox cluster evolution, model systems, and the importance of phylogeny.

Review :
`The chapters are concise ... but with plenty of references, and written with the authority of some of the major figures in molecular evolution. For me, the book was a gift.' Times Higher Education Supplement `this volume comprises the most diverse collection of phylogenetic applications ever assembled in one place ... anyone who has followed the growth of phylogenetics' impact on evolutionary biology will be interested in the diversity of perspectives presented here. The papers in this volume collectively give the distinct impression that a rich discipline is approaching a turning point.' Michael J. Sanderson, University of California, Davis, TREE vol. 12, no. 5 May 1997

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
