Items related to New Uses for New Phylogenies
Recent advances in molecular genetics make the sequencing of genes a straightforward exercise. Comparisons of sequenced genes from different individuals of a species, or from different species, allow the construction of family trees or evolutionary trees which reveal genetic relationships. This volume shows for the first time how those trees, or phylogenies, can be used to answer questions about population dynamics, epidemiology, development, biodiversity, conservation, and the evolution of genetic systems. The techniques for deciding what these new trees can tell us come together in a unified framework so that a common set of methods can be applied, whatever area of biology interests the researcher.

About the Author:
"This comprehensive volume describes how phylogenetic trees can be used to address questions about population dynamics, epidemiology, development, biodiversity, conservation, and the evolution of genetic systems, and will interest biologists working in these and related fields."--BIOSIS
"The integration of phylogenies into areas outside of pure systematics has been one of the most striking developments in evolutionary biology over the past decade or so. . .New Uses for New Phylogenies. . .present[s] an extremely wide range of ideas, methods, and applications. . .Furthermore, although it is not a stated purpose of the book, the 20 chapters together demonstrate the special qualities of molecular data for addressing certain problems." --American Zoologist
Paul Harvey is at University of Oxford. Andrew J. Leigh Brown is at University of Edinburgh.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Now that scientists can sequences genes with relative ease, the relationships among living organisms are becoming better known. These relationships are summarized as phylogenetic trees. This book reveals how these trees can be used to give insights into diverse fields of biological enquiry including ecology, epidemiology, development, conservation, and the evolutionary process itself.
