"The Great Tree of Life is a concise, approachable treatment that surveys the concept of the Tree of Life, including chapters on its historical use and cultural significance. The "Tree of Life" is a metaphor used to describe the relationships between organisms, both living and extinct and including our own species, as first noted by Charles Darwin. The book expounds on this exciting research and covers how to build an evolutionary tree of relationships. It also demonstrates the enormous utility of the Tree of Life in a variety of applications, including drug discovery, curing disease, crop improvement, conservation biology and ecology, responding to the challenges of climate change, and discusses the significant ongoing threats to the Tree of Life due to the demands of a growing human population. Lastly, the book stresses the need to find effective ways to "teach" the importance of the Tree of Life to our children, as well as the general public, both to preserve the Tree and to ensure the survival of our own species. The Great Tree of Life is a key aid to improving our understanding of species relationships and will be of use to researchers, practitioners, academics, and students in biology, ecology, and evolutionary biology and others interested in understanding the challenges to and opportunities for further conserving and restoring the Earth's biodiversity. Provides a single reference describing the properties, history, and utility of the Tree of Life. Introduces phylogenetics and its applications in an approachable manner."--

"The Great Tree of Life is a concise, approachable treatment that surveys the concept of the Tree of Life, including chapters on its historical introduction and cultural connection. The Tree of Life is a metaphor used to describe the relationships between organisms, both living and extinct. It has been widely recognized that the relationship between the roughly 10 million species on earth drives the ecological system. This work covers options on how to build the tree, demonstrating its utility in drug discovery, curing disease, crop improvement, conservation biology and ecology, along with tactics on how to respond to the challenges of climate change. This book is a key aid on the improvement of our understanding of the relationships between species, the increasing and essential awareness of biodiversity, and the power of employing modern biology to build the tree of life. Provides a single reference describing the properties, history and utility of The Tree of Life; Introduces phylogenetics and its applications in an approachable manner; Written by experts on the Tree of Life; Includes an online companion site containing various original videos to enhance the reader's understanding and experience"--

Polyploidy – whole-genome duplication (WGD) – is a fundamental driver of biodiversity with significant consequences for genome structure, organization, and evolution. Once considered a speciation process common only in plants, polyploidy is now recognized to have played a major role in the structure, gene content, and evolution of most eukaryotic genomes. In fact, the diversity of eukaryotes seems closely tied to multiple WGDs. Polyploidy generates new genomic interactions – initially resulting in “genomic and transcriptomic shock” – that must be resolved in a new polyploid lineage. This process essentially acts as a “reset” button, resulting in genomic changes that may ultimately promote adaptive speciation. This book brings together for the first time the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of polyploid genome evolution with syntheses of the patterns and processes of genome evolution in diverse polyploid groups. Because polyploidy is most common and best studied in plants, the book emphasizes plant models, but recent studies of vertebrates and fungi are providing fresh perspectives on factors that allow polyploid speciation and shape polyploid genomes. The emerging paradigm is that polyploidy – through alterations in genome structure and gene regulation – generates genetic and phenotypic novelty that manifests itself at the chromosomal, physiological, and organismal levels, with long-term ecological and evolutionary consequences.

The application of molecular techniques is rapidly transforming the study of plant systematics. The precision they offer enables researchers to classify plants heretofore not subject to rigorous classification and thereby to obtain a clearer picture of evolutionary relationships. Molecular Systematics of Plants is arranged both conceptually and phylogenetically to accommodate the interests not only of general systematists, but also those of people interested in a particular plant family. The first part discusses molecular sequencing; the second reviews restriction site analysis and the sequencing of mitochondrial DNA. A third section details the analysis of ribosomal DNA and chloroplast DNA. The following section introduces model studies involving well-studied families such as the Onagraceae, Compositae, and Leguminosae. The book concludes with a section addressing theoretical topics such as data analysis and the question of morphological vs. molecular data.
