Evolutionary theory : a hierarchical perspective /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

"The natural world is infinitely complex and hierarchically structured, with smaller units forming the components of larger systems: genes are components genomes, cells are building blocks of tissues and organs, individuals are members of populations, which, in turn, are parts of species. In th...
