Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics

Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics (EQG) is a comprehensive, 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 and makes them accessible 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, carrying us further than any other conceptual approach yet devised.

This advanced textbook is aimed principally at students (from senior undergraduate to postgraduate) as well as practising scientists in various fields interested in how adaptive radiations are produced by evolutionary forces.
