The use of molecular markers has revolutionised ecological genetics in the last 20 years. The fundamental problem facing new researchers is which of the many markers should be used and how the resulting data should then be analysed. Until now, these guidelines have been hidden away in specialist journals. This book covers topics such as genetic diversity of populations and species, genetic structure, gene flow, phylogeography and speciation. Within each chapter the potentially suitable molecular markers are described and the resulting data from each type of marker is discussed including the underlying concepts of the various modes of analysis. These are illustrated with examples from the plant and animal kingdoms.
