Thoroughly updated, Evolution, Third Edition, addresses major themes — including the history of evolution, evolutionary processes, adaptation, and evolution as an explanatory framework — at levels of biological organization ranging from genomes to ecological communities. Throughout, the text emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical tests of hypotheses, to help students become more familiar with the process of science. With a helpful list of important concepts and terms in each chapter, dynamic figures and lively photographs the new edition of Evolution will inspire and inform the next generation.

About the AuthorDouglas J. FuTuyma is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the state university of New york at stony Brook. He is the author of two previous editions of Evolution, as well as three editions of its predecessor, Evolutionary Biology, and has authored or edited several other books. Dr. Futuyma has received the 1997 sewall Wright award of the american society of Naturalists and the 2012 Joseph leidy award of the academy of Natural sciences of Drexel university (Philadelphia). He has served as Editor of Evolution and is currently Editor of the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics. His major research interests include evolution of host specificity in herbivorous insects and of interactions among insects and plants, speciation, and evolution of community structure.

• Greatly revised treatment of methods of phylogenetic analysis

• Up-to-date coverage of human evolution, based on the fossil record and genomic variation

• Reorganized treatment of the history of changes in biological diversity, integrating information from palaeontology and phylogenetics

• Coverage of important new developments in sexual selection and the evolutionary advantage of sex

• Updated and expanded coverage of reinforcement in speciation, and of speciation with gene flow – View Chapter 18: Speciation today.

• Extensive updating of very recent advances in evolutionary genomics

• Approximately 25% new figures

• 460 new citations (of approximately 1,700)

Chapter 4 includes updated material of feathered dinosaurs and the origin of birds, including Figure 4.9 which references papers from 2010 and 2012

Chapter 9 includes new and updated material on nongenetic inherited variation, linkage disequilibrium and patterns of human genetic variation, in relation to notions of “race”
