An Introduction to Evolutionary Genetics by David T. Parkin
Format: Softcover, 223 pages
Publisher: Edward Arnold, 1979
ISBN: 0713126035
Condition: Fair; Some fading to the spine; Bumps and a small tear on the front cover.
An Introduction to Evolutionary Genetics by David T. Parkin is a textbook that provides a foundation in the principles of evolutionary genetics. As part of the "Series of student texts in contemporary biology," the book breaks down complex topics for students and offers an overview of the field as it existed at the time of publication.
Evolution by natural selection: The book introduces the central concept of natural selection and its mechanisms, explaining how it drives evolutionary change.
Population genetics: It covers the behavior of genes within populations, a fundamental aspect of understanding how evolution occurs over time.
Molecular evolution: This section addresses the molecular basis of evolution, including how genetic changes accumulate in DNA and proteins.
Genetic polymorphism: Parkin explores the presence of multiple alleles at a gene locus within a population and its significance in evolution.
Selection on quantitative characters: The book discusses how natural selection can affect traits that are influenced by multiple genes, such as height or weight.
Adaptation: It examines the process by which populations become better suited to their environment through natural selection.
Coadaptation: This topic explores how different genes within an organism can evolve together to create an integrated and functional system.
Trans-specific evolution: The final chapter addresses the ecological & population genetics aspects of evolution above the species level, touching on macroevolutionary patterns.
