Synopsis

How do we know whether a particular species is monogamous or promiscuous? How can we monitor the illegal trafficking of wildlife? How can we differentiate between the many similar species making up a microbial community? An Introduction to Molecular Ecology introduces the latest molecular concepts and techniques, demonstrating how genetic markers and molecular tools can be used to answer a range of ecological questions, revolutionizing our understanding of ecological systems and phenomena. Blending conceptual detail with the most instructive examples, An Introduction to Molecular Ecology is an ideal resource for those new to the subject needing to develop a strong working understanding of the field. The book captures the broad scope of the subject, exploring the use of molecular tools in the context of topics including behavioural genetics, phylogeography, microbial ecology, and conservation. Online Resource Centre: The Online Resource Centre features the following materials: General resources BL Data files to support exercises posed in the book, to support active learning with real data BL Hyperlinked bibliography: online links to articles referenced in the book, providing ready access to the primary literature BL Figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture preparation

Media Reviews
Review from previous edition I would like to congratulate the authors for providing such a good textbook in introductory molecular ecology. Molecular ecology is an emerging interdisciplinary field with a great potential for future growth. Writing a textbook in such a field is a daunting task and the authors did an overall excellent job. Dr Jianping Xu, McMaster University, Canada - Review of this edition It was exactly what I was looking for: a short but well written introduction to the topic. Stacey L. Lance, Colby College, USA The authors and the publisher deserve a round of applause for producing yet another quality textbook. I heartily recommend the book to students and teachers in diverse areas of ecology, evolution and molecular biology. Journal of Ecobiology, 2006 As someone who has taught an undergraduate course in Molecular Ecology and Evolution for a number of years, often without an appropriate single text, I was eagerly anticipating this book and have not been disappointed. An Introduction to Molecular Ecology, as the cover notes make clear, is targeted at undergraduate students and the content lives up to its stated aim, pitching the level and style exactly right. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2005 This text has filled the need for a comprehensive introductory text in Molecular Ecology. The topics covered are of great interest to students in biology, and the authors have done an excellent job of illustrating the concepts with examples from the primary research literature that represent well the taxonomic diversity of molecular ecological studies.
