The genomics revolution has expanded from its origins in molecular
biology to impact upon every discipline in the life sciences,
including ecology. Several lines of ecological research can now be
profitably addressed using genomics technology, including issues of
nutrient cycling, population structure, life-history variation,
trophic interaction, stress responses, and adaptation to
environmental change. This new edition addresses a series of
fundamental ecological questions: the relationship between
community structure and ecological function in ecosystems; how
variation in life-history patterns among species can be explained
from interaction between the genome and the environment; the
molecular responses to changing and toxic environmental conditions;
adaptive phenotypes and their relationship to genetic variation.
Each of these questions is evaluated in the light of recent
advances in genomics research, paying particular attention to data
obtained from sequencing and screening of environmental genomes
(metagenomics), microarray-based transcription profiling, gene
expression directed by signal-transduction pathways, and the
analysis of genomic polymorphisms. The chapters covering these key
areas are preceded by discussions of genomics methodology
(including an overview of next-generation sequencing technologies)
and comparative genomics, and the book concludes with a chapter on
integrative approaches such as ecological control analysis. The
authors also provide a comparative survey of the properties of
genomes (genome size, gene families, synteny, and polymorphism) for
prokaryotes as well as the main eukaryotic models. An Introduction
to Ecological Genomics incorporates a balance of plant, animal, and
microbial examples, and continues to define the new and exciting
field of ecological genomics.
