The opening chapters introduce the essential molecular and genetic concepts that underpin the subject and describe key molecular tools and methods available to the ecologist. Capturing the broad scope of the field, the book goes on to explore the use of molecular tools in the context of behavioral ecology, population genetics, phylogeography, conservation, and microbial ecology. The third edition includes coverage of exciting new technological and analytical developments, such as next generation sequencing, which have revolutionized the field over the last decade. Molecular ecology is now in a position to tackle some truly ecological questions for the first time since its inception. Blending conceptual detail with the most instructive examples, An Introduction to Molecular Ecology is an ideal resource for those new to the subject needing to develop a strong working understanding of the field. The Online Resource Center features: For students: *Answers to end of chapter problems *Datasets to accompany in-text activities For instructors: *A "Journal Club" of suggested research papers and discussion questions linked to topics featured in the book *Figures from the textbook to view and download

How do we know whether a particular species is monogamous or promiscuous? How can we monitor the illegal trafficking of wildlife? How can we differentiate between the many similar species making up a microbial community? An Introduction to Molecular Ecology introduces the latest molecular concepts and techniques, demonstrating how genetic markers and molecular tools can be used to answer such ecological questions. Such questions, whose answers were previously out of our reach, can now be probed, thereby revolutionizing our understanding of ecological systems and phenomena. Blending conceptual detail with the most instructive examples, An Introduction to Molecular Ecology is an ideal resource for those new to the subject needing to develop a strong working understanding of the field. The book captures the broad scope of the subject, exploring the use of molecular tools in the context of topics including behavioral genetics, phylogeography, microbial ecology, and conservation. Features · Demonstrates the power of molecular ecology as a research tool in a style ideally suited for an undergraduate audience · Uses practical examples to demonstrate the latest methods and concepts rather than relying exclusively on theoretical models · Blends factual content with tools for active learning

Significant advances have been made in the study of gene structure and transcription since the publication of the first edition of this popular volume in 1988. The new edition updates all the sections where progress has been made and includes new figures and references. Substantial additions have especially been made to the sections on RNA processing and eukaryotic DNA-binding proteins - topics which have been the subject of intensive research in recent years. Like the first edition, this book will be invaluable to students in molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry as it provides a succinct account of this important subject.

This volume sets out to provide an overview of recent research on all aspects of amphibian ecology and behaviour and to illustrate its application to practical conservation measures for this major group of animals. Its broad scope makes it of relevance to students of general biology, ecology and conservation, but also to professionals in industries and agencies involved with environmental issues and nature conservation.

Climate Change and British Wildlife

A pioneering look at how climate change is affecting British wildlife--winners, losers, new arrivals and future prospects.
“Fascinating but frightening, compelling and concerning … this book brings together all you need to know about how the climate is impacting wildlife.” CHRIS PACKHAM
There is no escaping the fact that the British climate is changing, and our wildlife is changing with it. In this remarkable account, Trevor Beebee examines the story so far for our plant, fungi and animal species. Warmer and wetter winters, combined with longer summers, have worked to the advantage of plants such as the rare Lady Orchid, and a whole range of insects. The UK is also hosting new arrivals that come in on the wing. But there is adversity, too. Alpine plants and seabirds – particularly Kittiwakes – are suffering declines as our countryside warms. Given the evidence so far, can we predict what the future holds for our British ecosystems?

This textbook emphasizes the exciting research developments that have been made in this area. It compares and contrasts eukaryotic gene structure, transcription apparatus and regulation of transcription at the molecular level. The book will be an invaluable accompaniment to undergraduate lecture courses.
