Description for Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes
Hardcover. The history of biology is populated by numerous model species or organisms. But few vertebrate groups have aided evolutionary and ecological research more than the live-bearing fishes of the family Poeciliidae. This title offers an overview of the scientific potential and understanding of these live-bearing fishes. Editor(s): Evans, Jonathan P.; Pilastro, Andrea; Schlupp, Ingo. Num Pages: 472 pages, 54 maps, 34 line drawings, 25 tables. BIC Classification: PSAJ; PSVS; PSVW1. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 287 x 223 x 25. Weight in Grams: 1228.
The history of biology is populated by numerous model species or organisms. But few vertebrate groups have aided evolutionary and ecological research more than the live-bearing fishes of the family Poeciliidae. Found throughout tropical and subtropical waters, poeciliids exhibit a fascinating variety of reproductive specializations, including viviparity, matrotrophy, unisexual reproduction, and alternative mating strategies, making them ideal models for research on patterns and processes in ecology, behavior, and evolution. "Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes" is a much-needed overview of the scientific potential and understanding of these live-bearing fishes. Chapters by leading researchers take up a wide range of topics, ... Read more
