About the Book

Evolution and Development will be the first truly balanced introductory textbook treatment of this rapidly growing field. Hallmarks of the text will be an early focus on Darwinian evolution and natural selection that will lead into more molecular developmental detail. A comparative approach to developmental and non-developmental model systems, including plant and animal, will be presented to provide an intuitive understanding. While this approach will put concepts in perspective, it will make the developmental mechansims easier for students to comprehend. The text will include cutting edge treatment of larval evolution and coloniality, two emerging areas of interest. In order to help students understand how we came to know what we know, each chapter will begin with a page on a scientist that has contributed to a particular field with special effort to include a balance between genders and faculty of color.

About the Author :
Dr. Billie Swalla will be writing this first mainstream introductory text in Evo-Devo with the support of a Guggenheim grant. While she is already one of the most visible experts in the field, she has been an active proponent since she did her postdoctoral work where she worked with tailed and tailless ascidians, studying the molecular basis for radical morphological differences in the larval body plan. She was instrumental in establishing the new division of Evolutionary Developmental Biology in the Society for Comparative and Integrative Biology. She is also widely known for her work on many journals and at Friday Harbor labs.
