v. 9. 1993 ISBN 9780195084924

内容説明

This is the ninth volume in a distinguished series that presents new theories and frameworks in evolutionary research in order to stimulate discussion and outline progress in the field. The surveys strive to cover the field in its entirety, spanning the disciplines and representing the principle schools of thought. This volume contains chapters on genetic load, the selectionist/neutralist controversy, homogamy and speciation, and the genetics of biased sex ratios in subdivided populations. It will be welcomed by researchers and students interested in the cutting edge of evolutionary biology.

内容説明

Evolutionary biology draws on all levels and branches of biological science, from molecular biology to ecology to paleontology; it also makes use of such disciplines as economics. This series provides a medium whereby researchers and students can keep abreast of the large amount of research conducted each year in every area. It will be invaluable to those in all fields of biology, but particularly in botany, ecology, zoology, and paleobotany.
