Ecological Genetics The Interface

Traditionally, studies in ecological genetics have involved both field observations and laboratory genetic analyses. Comparisons and cor­ relations between these two kinds of data have provided valuable in­ formation on the genetic strategies behind the evolutionary adapta­ tions of species and thei...
