Rapidly Evolving Genes and Genetic Systems

Edición de Rama S. Singh, Jianping Xu, Rob J. Kulathinal ...

Ever since the pioneering work of Darwin and Wallace, evolutionary biologists have attempted to understand the evolutionary dynamics of genetic systems. A range of theories on evolutionary ratesfrom static to gradual to punctuated to quantumhave been developed, primarily by comparing morphological changes over geological timescales as described in the fossil record. Recent studies, however, are ... Leer más
