Publisher Synopsis
This book is a well-documented overview of evolutionary biology for both students and researchers. Michel Cuisin MAMMALIA 'This is a book useful for a broad audience, from the undergraduate student to the professional scientist, and its simple, clear and very pleasant style makes it accessible and appealing to the non-biologist reader.' Vie et Milieu, 57 (3) Its quality earns it a serious look as a text for a course or advanced seminar. Ecology, Vol. 88, No 2. This is an super textbook, which had me gripped from the opening sentences of the Preface...I suspect many lecturers looking for a new textbook in evolutionary ecology will be tempted to recommend this one. Des Thompson, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, 2006 37:3 It is very rare to find an author who can convey the excitement of ecological research in a text book, but Peter Mayhew succeeds...It is a book that should prove an inspiration to thoughtful students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Peter Moore, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society 2006, 37:2 Read more...
