This visually appealing book recounts the history of molecular
ecology and evolution as seen through the personal lens of one of
its most prolific practitioners, who has studied a panorama of
creatures ranging from corals, sponges, and other invertebrates to
a wide variety of vertebrate animals including numerous birds,
mammals, herps, and fishes. The sketches are of two types:
evocative drawings of the animals themselves, and more than 230
written abstracts summarizing the author's eclectic research on
ecological-genetic topics spanning the microevolutionary to
macroevolutionary. With the abstracts arranged by organismal group
and placed in chronological order, the chapters in this book lead
readers on a fascinating historical journey into the realm of
molecular genetics as applied across the past four decades to
intriguing questions in ecology, evolution, animal behavior, and
natural history.
