Product Description
Review
'... an excellent introduction to population and quantitative genetics ... Introduction to Conservation Genetics is an important book; it has authoritative reviews and lucid descriptions of population and quantitative genetics. It is beautifully put together and illustrated ... I anticipate that this book and its successors will be the standard text and reference for years to come.' Charles E. Taylor, Conservation Biology '... this important book should be compulsory reading ...' Pacific Conservation Biology '... a good introduction to the topic. There are strong diagrams to aid understanding and a range of summaries, reading lists and problems to stretch the mind further.' TEG News '... given its breadth and up-to-date treatment of the literature, the text should be of considerable value to students interested in conservation genetics and to the professional who needs a complete reference.' TRENDS in Ecology Evolution '... the second edition of Introduction to Conservation Genetics should provide an excellent basis for developing an introductory graduate or upper-level undergraduate course on conservation genetics. Instructors should also be able to incorporate some material into more general courses on conservation biology, population genetics, or evolution ... However, the utility of this new edition is not limited to classroom instruction. Scientists looking to learn more about this research area can use it to gain a basic foundation, and specialists will find it a handy tool for quick cross-referencing of the field's primary literature.' Plant Science Bulletin '... a commendable degree of detailed information ... the book's broad approach and reader-friendly presentation will ensure that it will continue to be the standard textbook on this subject.' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society
