The third edition of this successful
textbook features updates and extensive new coverage. The sections on
adaptation and diversity have been reorganized for improved clarity and
flow, and a completely updated section on the evolution of sex and the
inclusion of more plant examples have all helped to shape this new
edition. Evolution also features strong, balanced coverage of
population genetics, and scores of new applied plant and animal
examples make this edition even more accessible and engaging.
