About the Author :
Dr Freeland's research career in molecular ecology has embraced aspects of evolution, behavioural ecology, population genetics, and conservation genetics.

Review :
"I recommend this book to academic and research libraries for undergraduate study or as a review for those beginning in the area." (E-STREAMS, September 2007) "…as an introduction to the basic foundations of molecular ecology, this book will be a valuable resource." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, December 2006) "This text would be ideal for an undergraduate course in molecular ecology or for a researcher moving into this expanding field…highly recommended." (CHOICE, July 2006)
