Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was based on the
observation that there is variation between individuals within the
same species. This fundamental observation is a central concept in
evolutionary biology. However, variation is only rarely treated
directly. It has remained peripheral to the study of mechanisms of
evolutionary change. The explosion of knowledge in genetics,
developmental biology, and the ongoing synthesis of evolutionary
and developmental biology has made it possible for us to study the
factors that limit, enhance, or structure variation at the level of
an animals' physical appearance and behavior. Knowledge of the
significance of variability is crucial to this emerging synthesis.
This volume situates the role of variability within this broad
framework, bringing variation back to the center of the
evolutionary stage.
-Provides an overview of current thinking on variation in
evolutionary biology, functional morphology, and evolutionary
developmental biology
-Written by a team of leading scholars specializing on the study of
variation
-Reviews of statistical analysis of variation by leading
authorities
-Key chapters focus on the role of the study of phenotypic
variation for evolutionary, developmental, and post-genomic biology
