About the Book

Experiments using microbes are the best way to make sense of evolution in real time. This edited book highlights the experimental approach, using Viruses, Bacteria, "lower" Eukaryotes and digital organisms. The contributors illustrate the ways this approach is revolutionizing our understanding of adaptation, recombination and mutation rates, speciation and the evolutionary transitions from prokaryotic to eukaryotic and from unicellular to multicellular life forms.

Key selling features:

  • Provides a synopsis of experimental methods for studying of fundamental questions of evolutionary biology
  • An updated test of the broader theories of evolution using fast moving and increasingly important empirical approaches
  • Chapters come from leading contributors to experimental investigations of Evolutionary questions

About the Author:

Frank Rosezweig is Professor in Biological Sciences at the University of Montana. Research in his lab is aimed at illuminating the evolution of complex traits that augment biodiversity, control cell lifespan and drive major transitions in the history of life. Goals are to understand how changes in genome architecture alter global patterns of gene expression, whether such changes explain the physiology and behavior of novel genotypes, and the extent to which adaptation is shaped by trade-offs and constraints. They use experimental evolutionary genomics on models such as the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus , the Bakers yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the unicellular alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii . Funding for this work comes from NASA, NIH and the Templeton Foundation. Gavin Sherlock is Associate Professor of Genetics at Stanford University. His laboratory is a yeast genomics lab that uses both experimental and computational approaches to characterize the yeast genome and uses yeast as a model system to study evolution.
