Synopsis

The accurate identification of all kinds of plants and animals, their organization, and the theories proposed for their evolution are fundamental to the study of biology. Computers are revolutionizing taxonomic methodology, and this book provides a timely introduction to their use in this field. Simple methods are described, allowing those not familiar with computers to input, store, and organize biological information. The way in which computers can be used with the two major classification methods (phentic and cladistic) is described fully; database structure and organization are also explained clearly.
