Whether you've loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them. If there is something to criticize in this book relative importance of demography vs.
In either case, inbreeding and reproduc- are over 15 years behind in their actions and implica- tion failure alone have limited demographic effects. This excellent book calls for the two result in significantly reduced population action: Management considering genetics is required.

This last chapter is an excellent grounding for the U. A primer succeed for the most part in presenting this complex of ecological genetics serves as an introduction to subject in an accessible way. The prominence of quan- this rapidly expanding field. The intended readers for titative genetics in the text is refreshing.
The demands this book are advanced undergraduate and graduate required for quantitative genetic study have limited its students who will find it a valuable resource in their use in a conservation context. Conner and Hartl may studies. The authors also suggest that professional persuade some researchers to rise to the challenge and biologists will benefit from the material presented, combine observational and experimental work.
Scientific Frontiers in Developmental Toxicology and Risk Assessment reviews advances made during the last years in fields such as developmental biology, molecular biology, and genetics. It describes a novel approach for how these advances might be used in combination with existing methodologies to further the understanding of mechanisms of developmental toxicity, to improve the assessment of chemicals for their ability to cause developmental toxicity, and to improve risk assessment for developmental defects.
For example, based on the recent advances, even the smallest, simplest laboratory animals such as the fruit fly, roundworm, and zebrafish might be able to serve as developmental toxicological models for human biological systems. Use of such organisms might allow for rapid and inexpensive testing of large numbers of chemicals for their potential to cause developmental toxicity; presently, there are little or no developmental toxicity data available for the majority of natural and manufactured chemicals in use.
This new approach to developmental toxicology and risk assessment will require simultaneous research on several fronts by experts from multiple scientific disciplines, including developmental toxicologists, developmental biologists, geneticists, epidemiologists, and biostatisticians. This book assesses the scientific value and merit of research on human genetic differences--including a collection of DNA samples that represents the whole of human genetic diversity--and the ethical, organizational, and policy issues surrounding such research.
Evaluating Human Genetic Diversity discusses the potential uses of such collection, such as providing insight into human evolution and origins and serving as a springboard for important medical research. It also addresses issues of confidentiality and individual privacy for participants in genetic diversity research studies. This volume contains 19 recent papers on genomics and human genetics. They address such topics as: the history of the search for the human genome, pharmacogenomics, DNA damage processing defects and disease, human population genetics, gene therapy, methods for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms, Usher syndrome, systems biology, privacy and confidentiality of genetic information, the genetics of aging, and enu mutagenesis.
Book News Inc. Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory Explore the fundamentals of the biological implications of population genetic theory In the newly revised Second Edition of Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory, accomplished researcher and author Alan R.
Templeton delivers a fulsome discussion of population genetics with coverage of exciting new developments in the field, including new discoveries in epigenetics and genome-wide studies.
The book prepares students to successfully apply population genetics analytical tools by providing a solid foundation in microevolutionary theory. The book emphasizes that population structure forms the underlying template upon which quantitative genetics and natural selection operate and is a must-read for future population and evolutionary geneticists and those who wish to work in genetic epidemiology or conservation biology.
Appendices that cover genetic survey techniques and probability and statistics conclude the book. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to population genetics, including the scope of the subject, its premises, and the Hardy-Weinberg Model of Microevolution An exploration of systems of mating, including a treatment of the use of runs of homozygosity to show pedigree inbreeding in distant ancestors A practical discussion of genetic drift, including the use of effective sizes in conservation biology with a discussion of African rhinos as an example A concise examination of coalescence, including a treatment of the infinite sites model Perfect for graduate students in genetics and evolutionary biology programs and advanced undergraduate biology majors, Population Genetics and Microevolutionary Theory will also earn a place in the libraries of students taking courses in conservation biology, human genetics, bioinformatics, and genomics.
Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of human populations. Starting with an overview of molecular genomics for the non-specialist which can be a useful review for those with a more genetic background , the book shows h. Skip to content.
