✦ Synopsis

Every Biological System Is The Outcome Of Its Evolution; Therefore, The Deciphering Of Its Evolutionary History Is Of Tremendous Importance To Understand The Biology Of A System. Since 1997 Scientists Of Different Disciplines Have Held An Annual Evolutionary Biology Meeting At Marseille (france) In Order To Discuss Their Research Developments, Exchange Ideas And Start Collaborations. Consisting Of The Most Representative Talks Of The 11th Meeting, This Book Provides An Up-to-date Overview Of Evolutionary Concepts And How These Concepts Can Be Applied To A Better Understanding Of Various Biological Aspects. It Is Divided Into The Following Four Parts: Modelization Of Evolution - Concepts In Evolutionary Biology - Knowledge - Applied Evolutionary Biology. This Book Is An Invaluable Source Of Information Not Only For Evolutionary Biologists, But Also For Biologists In General.
