Phylogenetic Systematics (eBook, ePUB)

Haeckel to Hennig

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Comparative biology became overtly evolutionary in the mid-19th century following acceptance of the ideas of Charles Darwin by Ernst Haeckel. During the next 100 years, these evolutionary concepts changed and inspired Phylogenetic Systematics-a body of work exemplified by the publications of Willi Hennig. This book is a synthesis and chronicle of a crucially important phase in the development of modern phylogenetic methodology.
