TANGLED TREES: PHYLOGENY, COSPECIATION, AND COEVOLUTION

Edited by Roderic D.M. Page

(From Back Cover)
In recent years, the use of molecular data to build phylogenetic trees and
sophisticated computer-aided techniques to analyze them has led to a
revolution in the study of cospeciation. Tangled Trees provides an
up-to-date review and synthesis of current knowledge about phylogeny,
cospeciation, and coevolution. The opening chapters present various
methodological and theoretical approaches, ranging from the well-known
parsimony approach to "jungles" and Bayesian statistical models. Then a
series of empirical chapters discusses detailed studies of cospeciation
involving vertebrate hosts and their parasites, including nematodes,
viruses, and lice. Tangled Trees will be welcomed by researchers in a wide
variety of fields, from parasitology and ecology to systematics and
evolutionary biology.
