Extensively rewritten and reorganized, this new edition of Evolution--featuring a new coauthor: Mark Kirkpatrick (The University of Texas at Austin)--offers additional expertise in evolutionary genetics and genomics, the fastest-developing area of evolutionary biology. Directed toward an undergraduate audience, the text emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical tests of hypotheses, thus acquainting students with the process of science. It 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. For Students Companion Website The Evolution, Third Edition, Companion Website features review and study tools to help students master the material presented in the textbook. Access to the site is free of charge, and requires no access code. (Instructor registration is required in order for students to access the quizzes.) The site includes the following resources: * Chapter Outlines and Summaries: Concise overviews of the important topics covered in each chapter. * Data Analysis Exercises: Expanded for the third edition, these inquiry-based exercises involve students in working with data and analyzing methods and conclusions from published papers. * Simulation Exercises: Interactive modules that allow students to explore many of the dynamic processes of evolution, and answer questions based on the results they observe. * Online Quizzes: Quizzes that cover all the major concepts introduced in each chapter. These quizzes are assignable by the instructor. * Flashcards & Key Terms: Easy-to-use activities that help students learn all the key terminology introduced in each chapter. * The complete Glossary For Instructors Instructor's Resource Library The Evolution, Third Edition, Instructor's Resource Library includes a variety of resources to help you develop your course and deliver your lectures.

The third edition of the book once described as 'simply the best advanced textbook currently available' has increased its scope while emphasizing the new intellectual and molecular perspectives that have transformed evolutionary studies in the last decade. True to its theme, that evolution both draws on and illuminates all the biological sciences, "Evolutionary Biology" is the most comprehensive textbook in its field. Please note this paperback is a replacement for the hardback textbook (ISBN 0-87893-189-9) and not a new edition.
