Essa versão eletrônica não é aquela escaneada de má qualidade que circula na internet. É a versão com texto selecionável e formatada de forma idêntica ao livro, em português. This Edition Of Mark Ridley's 'evolution' Now Includes Two New Chapters On Evolutionary Genomics And Evolution And Development, And A Supporting Website Provides Downloadable Powerpoint Presentations And Other Supplementary Material. The Rise Of Evolutionary Biology -- Molecular And Mendelian Genetics -- The Evidence For Evolution -- Natural Selection And Variation -- Evolutionary Genetics -- The Theory Of Natural Selection -- Random Events In Population Genetics -- Natural Selection And Random Drift In Molecular Evolution -- Two-locus And Multilocus Population Genetics -- Quantitative Genetics -- Adaptation And Natural Selection -- Adaptive Explanation -- The Units Of Selection -- Adaptations In Sexual Reproduction -- Evolution And Diversity -- Species Concepts And Intraspecific Variation -- Speciation -- The Reconstruction Of Phylogeny -- Classification And Evolution -- Evolutionary Biogeography -- Macroevolution -- The History Of Life -- Evolutionary Genomics -- Evolutionary Developmental Biology -- Rates Of Evolution -- Coevolution -- Extinction And Radiation. Mark Ridley. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [699]-732) And Index. Mark Ridley's Evolution has become the premier undergraduate text in the study of evolution. Readable and stimulating, yet well-balanced and in-depth, this text tells the story of evolution, from the history of the study to the most revent developments in evolutionary theory. The third edition of this successful textbook features updates and extensive new coverage. The sections on adaptation and diversity have been reorganized for improved clarity and flow, and a completely updated section on the evolution of sex and the inclusion of more plant examples have all helped to shape this new edition. Evolution also features strong, balanced coverage of population genetics, and scores of new applied plant and animal examples make this edition even more accessible and engaging.
