The derivations are carefully worked out and easy to follow. Particular attention is given to the underlying assumptions and the mathematics used. The results are discussed and broadened out with relevant current implications. All topics feature questions with helpful answers.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe book is intended for the reader who already knows some population genetics but requires a more comprehensive understanding. It is particularly suited to those who analyse genetic data and wish to better grasp what their results actually mean. It will also be helpful for those who wish to understand how population genetics contributes to the explanation of evolution. Or as the writers claim: If one wants to understand life – in all its improbable and amazing richness – one must start by understanding population genetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction: On the constancy of allele frequencies 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 1 Balance between forward and backward mutation 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 2 Heterozygote advantage 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 3 Breakdown of linkage disequilibrium 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 4 Time to coalescence 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 5 The evolution of genetic diversity 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 6 Fixation of mutations with and without selection 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 7 Nonhomogeneous populations 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 8 Cost and benefit of sib-interactions 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 9 Selection on a quantitative trait 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDerivation 10 Evolutionary genetic analysis of the sex ratio 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat’s next? 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThanks 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Answers 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e References 257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Index 263\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Biology, life sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biology, life sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biology,%20life%20sciences%20%5BPS%5D%22\"\u003ePS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52421418811672,"sku":"9781119124030","price":49.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781119124030.jpg?v=1784595669","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/understanding-population-genetics-paperback-softback-9781119124030","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
