Description
Enhanced by the most up-to-date information available, including a text-specific web-site, this book provides coverage of both microevolution and macroevolution through a variety of taxonomic groups. It focuses throughout on phylogenetic trees. By presenting evolutionary biology as a dynamic, ongoing research effort and organizing discussions around questions, this best-selling text helps students think like scientists as they learn about evolution. The authors convey the excitement and logic of evolutionary science by introducing principles through recent and classical studies, and by emphasizing real-world applications. In the Fifth Edition, co-author Jon Herron takes the lead in streamlining and updating content to reflect key changes in the field. The design and art program have also been updated for enhanced clarity.
