An Introduction to Molecular Ecology by Trevor Beebee
Ecology - the study of how individuals and species interact with their surroundings, and each other - has been revolutionised by a new molecular approach to the subject. By using molecular, biological and molecular genetic techniques, ecological interactions can be investigated in more detail and with more accuracy than ever before. "An Introduction to Molecular Ecology" makes this fascinating area of research accessible to students for the first time. Beginning with the history of molecular ecology, involving the relationships between natural history, genetics and evolution, the book moves on to discuss the areas of molecular population genetics, phylogeography, and molecular ecology in conservation biology. These are just a few of the ten chapters, which are individually structured to include background information, questions of interest, the underlying theory of the various molecular and analytical approaches, and a range of relevant examples. Two substantial appendices detail accounts of the main practical and analytical methods currently used in molecular ecology.
The authors and the publisher deserve a round of applause for producing yet another quality textbookI heartily recommend the book to students and teachers in diverse areas of ecology, evolution, molecular biology, etc. Journal of Ecogbiology, 2006 This is a unique coverage of a growing research area. The application of biological techniques into ecology, such as gene mapping and fingerprinting, has brought a welcome sophistication into the analysis of populations and their interactions. A superb introduction to the area. R. Davies, University of Chester, 2004. An excellent single text bringing together disparate but important branches of this academic subject. Well written, informative, topical, easy for students to use. Dr W.O.C. Symondson, Cardiff University, May 2004.
