Molecular Systematics of Fishes

About this book

Presents an overview of the theory and application of molecular systematics to fish. This volume covers the phylogeny of fishes at multiple taxonomic levels, methods of analysis for molecular data, evolutionary genetics of, within and between fish populations, and the application of molecular based phylogenies to broader questions of evolution.
