Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Biology is the definitive go-to reference in the field of evolutionary biology. It provides a fully comprehensive review of the field in an easy to search structure. Under the collective leadership of fifteen distinguished section editors, it is comprised of articles written by leading experts in the field, providing a full review of the current status of each topic.The articles are up-to-date and fully illustrated with in-text references that allow readers to easily access primary literature. While all entries are authoritative and valuable to those with advanced understanding of evolutionary biology, they are also intended to be accessible to both advanced undergraduate and graduate students.Broad topics include the history of evolutionary biology, population genetics, quantitative genetics; speciation, life history evolution, evolution of sex and mating systems, evolutionary biogeography, evolutionary developmental biology, molecular and genome evolution, coevolution, phylogenetic methods, microbial evolution, diversification of plants and fungi, diversification of animals, and applied evolution.Readership.

Are humans still subject to the forces of evolution? An evolutionary biologist provides surprising insights into the future of Homo sapiens In this intriguing book, evolutionary biologist Scott Solomon draws on the explosion of discoveries in recent years to examine the future evolution of our species. Combining knowledge of our past with current trends, Solomon offers convincing evidence that evolutionary forces still affect us today. But how will modernization?including longer lifespans, changing diets, global travel, and widespread use of medicine and contraceptives?affect our evolutionary future? Solomon presents an entertaining and accessible review of the latest research on human evolution in modern times, drawing on fields from genomics to medicine and the study of our microbiome. Surprising insights, on topics ranging from the rise of online dating and Cesarean sections to the spread of diseases such as HIV and Ebola, suggest that we are entering a new phase in human evolutionary history?one that makes the future less predictable and more interesting than ever before.

La 4e de couverture indique : "La classification moderne, dite phylogénétique, ne met plus l'humain au centre de la Nature, les groupes d'organismes ne sont plus définis par rapport à lui, mais pour eux-mêmes. Elle est désormais fondée sur la recherche des degrés de parenté entre espèces, exauçant ainsi le voeu ancien de Darwin que toute classification naturelle doit refléter les affinités généalogiques. Ce livre est donc une incursion dans l'arbre de la vie. Chaque branche de l'arbre est un groupe comprenant un ancêtre hypothétique et tous ses descendants. On trouvera pour chaque groupe les arguments de la classification (les innovations évolutives que l'ancêtre unique a léguées à ses descendants actuels) et bien d'autres renseignements (nombre d'espèces, plus ancien fossile connu du groupe, etc). Cette 4e édition a été entièrement remaniée pour tenir compte des découvertes les plus récentes."
