Molecular approaches have opened new windows on a host of
ecological and evolutionary disciplines, ranging from population
genetics and behavioral ecology to conservation biology and
systematics. Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution
summarizes the multi-faceted discoveries about organisms in nature
that have stemmed from analyses of genetic markers provided by
polymorphic proteins and DNAs. The first part of the book
introduces rationales for the use of molecular markers, provides a
history of molecular phylogenetics, and describes a wide variety of
laboratory methods and interpretative tools in the field. The
second and major portion of the book provides a cornucopia of
biological applications for molecular markers, organized along a
scale from micro-evolutionary topics (such as forensics, parentage,
kinship, population structure, and intra-specific phylogeny) to
macro-evolutionary themes (including species relationships and the
deeper phylogenetic structure in the tree of life). Unlike most
prior books in molecular evolution, the focus is on organismal
natural history and evolution, with the macromolecules being the
means rather than the ends of scientific inquiry. Written as an
intellectual stimulus for the advanced undergraduate, graduate
student, or the practicing biologist desiring a wellspring of
research ideas at the interface of molecular and organismal
biology, this book presents material in a manner that is both
technically straightforward, yet rich with concepts and with
empirical examples from the world of nature.
