Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics

Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics is a comprehensive and accessible overview of the dominant conceptual framework for interpreting the evolution of quantitative traits.

This book provides a much-needed synthesis of conceptual advances in EQG, making it timely and relevant to a wider academic audience.

The central argument of the book is that an adaptive landscape concept can be used to understand both evolutionary process within lineages and the pattern of adaptive radiations.

This advanced textbook is aimed principally at students (from senior undergraduate to postgraduate) as well as practising scientists in the fields of evolutionary biology, ecology, physiology, functional morphology, developmental biology, comparative biology, paleontology, and beyond who are interested in how adaptive radiations are produced by evolutionary processes.

With its comprehensive coverage and accessible writing style, Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the complexities of evolutionary quantitative genetics.
