Inhaltsangabe

This book aims to make population genetics approachable, logical and easily understood. To achieve these goals, the book's design emphasizes well explained introductions to key principles and predictions. These are augmented with case studies as well as illustrations along with introductions to classical hypotheses and debates.
 
Pedagogical features in the text include:
* Interact boxes that guide readers step-by-step through computer simulations using public domain software.
* Math boxes that fully explain mathematical derivations.
* Methods boxes that give insight into the use of actual genetic data.
* Numerous Problem boxes are integrated into the text to reinforce concepts as they are encountered.
* Dedicated website at www.wiley.com/go/hamiltongenetics
 
This text also offers a highly accessible introduction to coalescent theory, the major conceptual advance in population genetics of the last two decades.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Matthew B. Hamilton teaches population genetics, evolutionary processes, and similar undergraduate and graduate courses at Georgetown University. He conducts research on the processes that shape genetic variation within species using molecular genetic markers as well as predictive mathematical models.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The key to understanding population genetics is gaining familiarity with a set of traditional conceptual approaches along with classical hypotheses and debates. Armed with this background, many empirical studies will be readily understood because the basic hypotheses they address are understood from first principles. To achieve this goal, this book is designed to contain mostly conceptual material that is augmented with case studies as illustrations. Several outstanding pedagogical features including methods boxes and exercises to assist students in conducting simulations using public domain software will be integrated into the text.
