基本説明
Written by an expert in molecular biology with a longstanding expertise in taxonomy, this practical book provides the sound scientific background to the problems arising with classifying organisms according to species.
Full Description
A readily comprehensible guide for biologists, field taxonomists and interested laymen to one of the oldest problems in biology: the species problem. Written by a geneticist with extensive experience in field taxonomy, this practical book provides the sound scientific background to the problems arising with classifying organisms according to species. It covers the main current theories of specification and gives a number of examples that cannot be explained by any single theory alone.
Contents
Foreword Preface Introduction Are species constructs of the human mind? Why is there a species problem? What are traits in taxonomy? Diversity within the species: polymorphisms and the polytypic species Biological species as a gene-flow community The cohesion of organisms through genealogical lineage (cladistics) Outlook Glossary
