Infos

Providing outstanding breadth of coverage inevo-devo, Advances in Evolutionary DevelopmentalBiology provides a comprehensive review of the milestonesof research in evolution and development and outlines the excitingresearch agenda for the field going forward. Compiling theviewpoints of a diverse group of field experts, this timely textexpands the now-mature science of evo-devo into more complex areasof research. This essential reference is destined to become thego-to source for ideas and hypotheses for a new generation ofgraduate students in evolutionary and developmental biology.

Rezensionen

"All in all, this book is a nice resource for nascent evo-devo students who would like to get to know the history of their field, or for outsiders to evodevo who would like to know some of the major contributions." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 October 2015)
