With increasing frequency, systematic and evolutionary biologists have turned to the techniques of molecular biology to complement their traditional morphological and anatomical approaches to questions of the historical relationship and descent among groups of animals and plants. In particular, the comparative analysis of DNA sequences is becoming a common and important focus of research attention today. The objective of this volume is to survey the emerging field of molecular systematics of DNA sequences, and to appraise the strengths and limitations of the different approaches yielded by these techniques. The contributors are an internationally recognized group of investigators from different schools and disciplines who critically address a diversity of crucial questions about DNA systematics, including DNA sequence data acquisition, phylogenetic inference, congruence and consensus problems, limitations of molecular data, and the integration of molecular and morphological data
sets. The work will interest all botanists and zoologists involved in systematics, taxonomy, and evolution.
Industry Reviews
"Valuable contributions. . .make this worth buying. . . .[Is] worth reading by any systematist, whether using molecular or conventional data." --Plant Science Bulletin "A window onto the current state of the art of this field. . . .[Will] prove useful and interesting to evolutionary theorists, molecular biologists, and those involved in various genome projects. . . .A welcome addition to the library, reflecting as it does the integration of knowledge and an interdisciplinary approach to deep and interesting issues in biology." --Bio/Technology "The contributors have taken on some of the most difficult problems in the phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data. This well-edited book is a timely statement of the science; I recommend it highly." --BioScience "Captures the excitement that the increasing availablility of DNA sequence data is bringing to the study of systematics. I enjoyed the book. I learnt a great deal from it and would recommend it as a useful reference and entrance to the literature. . . . the standards of writing and presentation are both high." --Journal of Classification "Valuable contributions. . .make this worth buying. . . .[Is] worth reading by any systematist, whether using molecular or conventional data." --Plant Science Bulletin "A window onto the current state of the art of this field. . . .[Will] prove useful and interesting to evolutionary theorists, molecular biologists, and those involved in various genome projects. . . .A welcome addition to the library, reflecting as it does the integration of knowledge and an interdisciplinary approach to deep and interesting issues in biology." --Bio/Technology "The contributors have taken on some of the most difficult problems in the phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data.
