About this book

Reprint of the seminal 1979 text which was produced as evolutionary biology and ecology were coalescing to produce evolutionary ecology. Contents: basics of population genetics; complex genetic systems; special topics in evolution; evolutionary ecology of single populations; evolutionary ecology of interacting populations; appendices.
