Book Synopsis A Primer of Ecological Genetics by : Jeffrey K. Conner

Download or read book A Primer of Ecological Genetics written by Jeffrey K. Conner and published by Sinauer Associates Incorporated. This book was released on 2004-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers basic concepts in population and quantitative genetics, including measuring selection on phenotypic traits. The emphasis is on material applicable to field studies of evolution focusing on ecologically important traits. Topics addressed are critical for training students in ecology, evolution, conservation biology, agriculture, forestry, and wildlife management. Many texts in this field are too complex and mathematical to allow the average beginning student to readily grasp the key concepts. A Primer of Ecological Genetics, in contrast, employs mathematics and statistics-fully explained, but at a less advanced level-as tools to improve understanding of biological principles. The main goal is to enable students to understand the concepts well enough that they can gain entry into the primary literature. Integration of the different chapters of the book shows students how diverse concepts relate to each other.
