Inhaltsangabe

Written by a leading expert in the field, Genetics of Populations, Third Edition is the most current and comprehensive introduction to genetics for both advanced undergraduate and graduate students. In the past several years, interest in the application of population genetic principles to new molecular data has greatly increased. Dr. Hedrick's new edition exemplifies his commitment to keeping pace with this dynamic area of study by emphasizing this recent change in interest. Students will stay abreast of evolving trends and gain important insight into the developments in genetics with this new edition.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Hedrick's research focuses on a number of topics related to the conservation of endangered species and the genetic basis of evolutionary processes. For example, he currently has projects on microsatellite variation, fitness, inbreeding depression, and outbreeding depression in the endangered Gila topminnow and on inbreeding depression in the Mexican wolf. Another major area of research is variation in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the most variable group of genes in many organisms ones related to disease resistance. MHC variation is being examined in the Gila topminnow, desert bighorn sheep, Arabian oryx, Przewalski's horse, winter-run chinook salmon and its relationship to disease resistance studied in winter-run chinook salmon and bighorn sheep. In addition, he carries out theoretical research on the maintenance of genetic variation in variable environments, genetic variation in metapopulations, and purging inbreeding depression.
