They are also beginning to permeate the medical sciences. In this book, the authors approach the study of molecular evolution with the phylogenetic tree as a central metaphor. This will equip students and professionals with the ability to see both the evolutionary relevance of molecular data, and the significance evolutionary theory has for molecular studies. The book is accessible yet sufficiently detailed and explicit so that the student can learn the mechanics of the procedures discussed. The book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in molecular evolution\/phylogenetic reconstruction. It will also be a useful supplement for students taking wider courses in evolution, as well as a valuable resource for professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFirst student textbook of phylogenetic reconstruction which uses the tree as a central metaphor of evolution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter summaries and annotated suggestions for further reading.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorked examples facilitate understanding of some of the more complex issues.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasis on clarity and accessibility.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoderic Dugald Morton Page, known as Rod,\u003c\/b\u003e is an evolutionary biologist at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and the author of several books.
