Evolutionary Ecology: Concepts and Case Studies

by Charles W. Fox (Editor), Derek A. Roff

This text unifies conceptual and empirical advances in evolutionary ecology and provides a volume that may be used as a primary textbook or supplemental reading in an advanced undergraduate or graduate course. The focus is on contemporary concepts in evolutionary ecology and the empirical study of these concepts. Chapters are written by prominent biologists who have made significant contributions to this field and both synthesize the current state of knowledge and identify areas for future investigation. It is divided into five major sections: an overview of the major topics in evolutionary biology for ecologists, and sections on life histories, behaviour, co-evolution, and adaptation to athropogenic change.
