Adaptive genetic variation in the wild /

"This book, featuring a superb selection of papers from leading authors, summarises the state of current understanding about the extent of genetic variation within wild populations and the ways to monitor such variation. It proposes the idea that a fundamental objective of evolutionary ecology...
