  • Ideally suited in length and content for one-semester undergraduate evolution courses.
  • A strong art program enhances the text and visual appeal of the content.
  • Provides an abundance of empirical examples for each major concept.
  • Interactive elements such as self-assessment questions, interactive figures, data exercises with real data sets, simulation exercises, and videos help engage students with the content.
  • Addresses major themes - including the history of evolution, evolutionary processes, adaptation, and evolution as an explanatory framework - at levels of biological organization ranging from genomes to ecological communities
  • Chapters build on each other in an easy-to-understand progression.

    
The gold standard in undergraduate-level evolutionary biology textbooks.
    
This new fifth edition presents the field of evolution as a living, breathing science. Extensively revised for clarity and currency, Evolution, 5th Edition, includes updated coverage in evolutionary genetics and genomics to illustrate the rapidly moving science of evolution and emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical test hypotheses, acquainting students with the process of science. Evolution is available in a dynamic interactive enhanced e-book that allows students hone their problem-solving and data analysis skills while seeing the evolution in the context of their life.

著者について: 

Douglas Futuyma is recognized as one of the world's leading evolutionary biologists. His research is focused on the evolution and coevolution of ecological interactions among different species, especially between plants and herbivorous insects. His work with insects and host plants began as research to account for all of the genetic variation that has occurred in evolution. He is well known as the author of a leading college textbook on biological evolution and of a trade book that addresses creationist opposition to teaching avolution.
    
Mark Kirkpatrick is T.S. Painter Centennial Professor of Genetics at the University of Texas, Austin and heads the Kirkpatrick Lab. His work uses mathematical models and develops statistical tools to test hypotheses. Topics of focus include: chromosome evolution, speciation, sexual selection and species ranges.

"Evolution is good at providing a lot of empirical examples for each major concept, and I generally like the organization, particularly in the early units, where chapters build on each other in a good natural progression." - Jeremy Yoder, CSU Northridge
   

"Very good combination of large-scale evolutionary trends and overview of our understanding of evolution of Homo sapiens." - Alyssa Bell, Cal Poly Pomona
   

"Generally quite well-organized and clearly written. Important topics are generally covered to a level that I would feel is appropriate for students in my class. The examples are generally interesting and well-illustrated." - Rene Malenfant, University of New Brunswick
   

"Very well written and is probably the best textbook on evolution on the market right now. Full of data, including recent findings." - Mark Sturtevant, Oakland University
