For sophomore- to junior-level courses in Evolution, with an Introductory Biology prerequisite.

This text introduces biology majors to the basic concepts of the fields comprising Darwinian biology: population genetics, population ecology, community ecology, macroevolution, physiological ecology, systematics, and functional morphology. The general theme is the interconnectedness of organism, environment, and evolution. Just as biochemistry and molecular biology provide the foundation for our understanding of the cell, evolutionary biology and ecology are used to construct a foundation for understanding the organism. Using evocative language and an eye-catching magazine format, the authors aim to prepare undergraduates for more advanced specialist courses in Darwinian biology as they pursue their degrees.

• Stepped-out equations and concrete graphics – To foster quantitative intuition.

• Thoughtful use of examples – Uses examples

illustratively rather than exhaustively, to support and sharpen the student’s understanding.

• Striking magazine format – Allows text and graphics to combine synergistically, with close juxtaposition.

– Uses graphics and photographs as the foreground elements and detailed text content as a background element, to make Darwinian biology lively and appealing.

– All one- or two-page spreads in the text are art-centered, self-contained, and designed to convey a single message. In this way, information is focused into distinct Modules.

• Emphasizes concepts over details and scientific reasoning over terminology.

(NOTE: Each chapter begins with an Introduction and concludes with Chapter Summary, Further Readings, Key Terms, and Review Questions.)
