- Summary
-
Ecological genetics describes the experimental study of evolution and adaptation carried out by means of combined fieldwork and laboratory genetics, a technique which has developed over some forty years and is attracting an increasing number of scientists. The author has developed principles, illustrated by examples drawn from both zoology and botany, rather than produced a compendium of available information. This fourth edition is again extended and brought up to date so as to incorporate work carried out during the last four years. There has been much new research in the fields of mimicry and melanism and it is of course the chapters on these topics which have undergone the most extensive revision. The list of references has been greatly extended.
