Evolutionary Biology, Volume 33

Volume 33 continues in the grand tradition of Evolutionary Biology in being the most comprehensive series in the field. The chapters are always up-to-date, informative, and stimulating, sometimes infuriating just what good scientific literature should be! Particularly attractive is the freewheeling spirit of the series: no style of length is imposed. If you want to remain cognizant of contemporary evolutionary advances in general and have time to read only one volume a year outside your own specialty, make it Evolutionary Biology. (Jeffrey R. Powell, Ph.D., Yale University) "The scope of Evolutionary Biology is vast... This series is...excellent; we should all press for its maintenance in institutions libraries." (Biologist) "Should you read it? Yes - these are stimulating contributions from active researchers...[that] display an unusual combination of clarity and interest." (Heredity) "Throughout its long and successful history, Evolutionary Biology has published [some] of the most often cited classics in [the field]...Maintains very high standards, is always current and manages to invite the most highly regarded researchers to contribute." (The Quarterly Review of Biology)
