Book excerpt: "The last ten years have seen an explosion of activity in the application of molecular biological techniques to evolutionary and ecological studies. This volume attempts to summarize advances in the field and place into context the wide variety of methods available to ecologists and evolutionary biologists using molecular techniques. Both the molecular techniques and the variety of methods available for the analysis of such data are presented in the text. The book has three major sections - populations, species and higher taxa. Each of these sections contains chapters by leading scientists working at these levels, where clear and concise discussion of technology and implication of results are presented. The volume is intended for advanced students of ecology and evolution and would be a suitable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate student seminar courses." -- Publisher.
