John Avise is one of the most distinguished evolutionary
biologists of our time. His groundbreaking work with mitochondrial
DNA created the entire discipline of phylogeography and his work on
the Pleistocene refugia hypothesis redirected scientific thinking
about patterns of distribution. Spanning a remarkable
thirty-five-year career, the essays gathered here were rewritten
from his previously published articles and represent the first
single-volume collection of Avise's work.
Moving through various questions in evolutionary biology, these
eclectic essays reveal Avise's unique perspectives on major topics
in the field. From how to define a species to the folly of faulty
applications of cladistics to connections between conservation and
evolutionary biology, On Evolution takes the reader on a personal
journey into the mind of one of the world's leading
evolutionists.
