Phylogenies in Ecology

A Guide to Concepts and Methods

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"A history lesson, textbook, and lab manual all in one, this terrific book explores the concepts and methods at the intersection of ecology and phylogenetics, from community ecology to conservation. Perfect for experienced researchers and students new to the field."--David Ackerly, University of California, Berkeley "This how-to manual is a comprehensive review and an important, encouraging, and evenhanded critique of ecophylogenetics. Cadotte and Davies give examples of the full range of ecophylogenetic analyses, which a reader can easily execute, learn from, and then use to create new ways for incorporating phylogenetic information to better understand the workings of organismal assemblages. A super book."--Campbell Webb, Harvard University "With scope and rigor, this book makes a compelling case that there are indeed ways to gain insights into important ecological questions using phylogenetic methods. A significant contribution to the field, the book presents new conceptions of how community assembly and evolutionary history interact, as well as new interpretations of data. This work provides a clear blueprint for moving the field ahead and will greatly catalyze future work."--Mathew Leibold, University of Texas, Austin
