This second edition offers an accessible introduction to the diverse aspects of molecular ecology, presenting a logical and progressive approach that unites examples from various taxonomic groups. The clear writing style facilitates in-depth analysis, making complex topics like population genetics and phylogenetics comprehensible. The initial sections cover the foundational elements of molecular ecology, including a review of genetics, commonly used molecular markers, and a chapter on the emerging field of ecological genomics. The latter half focuses on specific applications, addressing phylogeography, behavioral ecology, and conservation genetics. This updated edition emphasizes new analytical methods and includes contemporary examples and techniques, while maintaining the engaging, informative style of the first edition. It features both theoretical and applied perspectives, a user-friendly presentation, and self-assessment activities based on realistic data sets. Case studies are integrated to contextualize the theory, ensuring comprehensive coverage of population genetics, genomics, phylogeography, behavioral ecology, and conservation genetics.
