Críticas:

"John Gillespie has done the near-impossible, condensing the essence of population genetics into a very short book. The result is a little gem. The derivations are simple and clear, and often strikingly original. The minor gaps in the first edition are filled by this equally concise second edition. Population genetics is a complicated subject; only a person of Gillespie's depth of knowledge and insight could simplify without distorting." - James F. Crow, author of Genetics Notes "The book is coherently and logically structured and covers all the most important and incontrovertible aspects of population genetics... I recommend this as a good introductory book that can be used in both undergraduate and graduate courses." - Heredity "A well-developed, thoughtful, and classic book that has been tested and improved through many years in the classroom... A 'must' for anyone interested in plant or animal genetics." - Choice"

Reseña del editor:

First published in 1998, John Gillespie's brilliant primer Population Genetics: A Concise Guide has been updated with new topics that have emerged . Keeping the concise format that made the book such a popular success, new sections have been added on molecular evolution, genetic drift, the stationary distribution, two-locus dynamics, and the evolution of selfing in nonrandom mating. Writing with verve, Gillespie explains both the theories and empirical evidence. The result is an intriguing revelation of how genes can be quantified and explained at the level of population. Whether one works on Drosophila in a laboratory setting or studies free-ranging populations, you will find that this book is an indispensable addition to your library.
