The first volume of Evolutionary Biology was published twelve years
ago. Since that time twelve volumes and one supplement have
appeared. As stated in earlier prefaces, we are continuing the
focus of this series on critical reviews, commentaries, original
papers, and controversies in evolu tionary biology. It is our aim
to publish papers primarily of greater length than normally
published by society journals and quarterlies. We therefore invite
colleagues to submit chapters that fall within the focus and
standards of Evolutionary Biology. Manuscripts should be sent to
anyone of the following: Max K. Hecht, Biology Department, Queens
College of the City University of New York, Flushing, New York
11367; William C. Steere, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New
York 10458; Bruce Wallace, Department of Genetics, Cornell
University, Ithaca, New York 14850. The Editors vii Contents 1.
