An Introduction to Molecular Ecology introduces the latest molecular concepts and techniques, demonstrating how genetic markers and molecular tools can be used to answer ecological questions such as How do we know whether a particular species is monogamous or promiscuous? ; How can we monitor the illegal trafficking of wildlife? ; and How can we differentiate between the many similar species making up a microbial community? Such questions, whose answers were previously out of our reach, can now be probed, revolutionizing our understanding of ecological systems and phenomena.Blending conceptual detail with the most instructive examples, An Introduction to Molecular Ecology is an ideal resource for those new to the subject needing to develop a strong working understanding of the field. The book captures the broad scope of the subject, exploring the use of molecular tools in the context of topics including behavioural genetics, phylogeography, microbial ecology, and conservation.
