Description for Genetic Structure and Selection in Subdivided Populations (MPB-40)
Paperback. Various approaches have been developed to evaluate the consequences of spatial structure on evolution in subdivided populations. This book is both a review and new synthesis of several of these approaches, based on the theory of spatial genetic structure. Series: Monographs in Population Biology. Num Pages: 288 pages, 18 line illus. BIC Classification: PSAK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 217 x 144 x 18. Weight in Grams: 338.
Various approaches have been developed to evaluate the consequences of spatial structure on evolution in subdivided populations. This book is both a review and new synthesis of several of these approaches, based on the theory of spatial genetic structure. Francois Rousset examines Sewall Wright's methods of analysis based on F-statistics, effective size, and diffusion approximation; coalescent arguments; William Hamilton's inclusive fitness theory; and approaches rooted in game theory and adaptive dynamics. Setting these in a framework that reveals their common features, he demonstrates how efficient tools developed within one approach can be applied to the others. Rousset not only revisits ...

Reviews for Genetic Structure and Selection in Subdivided Populations (MPB-40)
"For most of us reading his book, our task is to master the concepts behind the elegant equations presented in Rousset's monograph, if we are to have any hope of keeping up with future developments in the field of mathematical population genetics."
