{"product_id":"molecular-markers-natural-history-and-evolution-von-j-c-avise","title":"Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution","description":"\n                                Molecular approaches have opened new windows on a host of  ecological and evolutionary disciplines, ranging from population  genetics and  behavioral ecology to conservation biology and  systematics. \n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                                  \n                \n                \u003cem\u003eMolecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                 summarizes the  multi-faceted discoveries about organisms in nature that have stemmed  from analyses of genetic markers provided by polymorphic proteins and  DNAs. The first part of the book introduces rationales for the use of  molecular markers, provides a history of molecular phylogenetics, and  describes a wide variety of laboratory methods and interpretative  tools in the field. The second and major portion of the book provides  a cornucopia of biological applications for molecular markers,  organized along a scale from micro-evolutionary topics (such as  forensics, parentage, kinship, population structure, and  intra-specific phylogeny) to macro-evolutionary themes (including  species relationships and the deeper phylogenetic structure in the  tree of life). Unlike most prior books in molecular evolution, the  focus is on organismal natural history and evolution, with the  macromolecules being the means rather than the ends of scientific  inquiry. Written as an intellectual stimulus for the advanced  undergraduate, graduate student, or the practicing biologist desiring  a wellspring of research ideas at the interface of molecular and  organismal biology, this book presents material in a manner that is  both technically straightforward, yet rich with concepts and with  empirical examples from the world of nature.\n            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780412037719\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780412037818\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9780412037719","offer_id":51068348550,"sku":"9780412037719","price":213.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover - 9780412037818","offer_id":39415151460445,"sku":"9780412037818","price":213.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c25f2a26-32b3-410f-9168-684d675bbb71.jpg?v=1754625782","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/molecular-markers-natural-history-and-evolution-von-j-c-avise","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
