Phylogenetics aims to study the evolutionary relatedness of living organisms in our planet. Its application is extended to the key areas such as evolution, classification and taxonomy of living organisms; ecology, diversity, and conservation biology of agrobiocenosis; monitoring of pathogen spread, outbreaks and source of transmissions, forensic analyses, etc. Historically, phylogenetics studies were prevalently based on morphological features of species that helped to classify the 'Tree of Life' on Earth. Modern phylogenetics studies, however, rely more heavily on DNA sequences. In this Phylogenetics book, we aimed to present readers the latest developments in phylogenetics studies that highlight multi-kingdom systems, reticulated evolution and conservation biology of living organisms as well as 'omics'-based phylogenetics advances.

"This book considers evolution at different scales. The focus is on the mathematical and computational tools and concepts, which form an essential basis of evolutionary studies, indicate their limitations, and give them orientation"--Provided by publisher.

Reconstructing phylogenetic trees from DNA sequences has become a popular exercise in many branches of biology, and here the well-known geneticist John Avise explains why. Molecular phylogenies provide a genealogical backdrop for interpreting the evolutionary histories of many other types of biological traits (anatomical, behavioral, ecological, physiological, biochemical and even geographical). Guiding readers on a natural history tour along dozens of evolutionary pathways, the author describes how creatures ranging from microbes to elephants came to possess their current phenotypes. Essential reading for college students, professional biologists and anyone interested in natural history and biodiversity, this book is packed with fascinating examples of evolutionary puzzles from across the animal kingdom; how the toucan got its enormous bill, how reptiles grow back lost limbs and why Arctic fish don't freeze.

"Ce livre fait la synthèse des concepts de la systématique et des méthodes employées, jusqu’aux plus modernes à l’œuvre aujourd’hui. Ce livre raconte l'histoire complexe et les révolutions de cette science, tant méthodologiques que conceptuelles. La systématique, ou science de la classification, est une science historique qui intègre les données de la morpho-anatomie, de l’embryologie, de la physiologie et de la paléontologie. Elle connut deux révolutions conceptuelles, dont l’une est toujours à l’œuvre. Ses méthodes ont radicalement changé, et ses résultats récents bouleversent des schémas de pensée solidement ancrés dans les esprits. L’histoire complexe de la systématique, et les renversements tant méthodologiques que conceptuels qui l’ont accompagnée, la rendent difficile à maîtriser. Sous un angle zoologique, ce livre raconte cette histoire en détail et explique clairement ce que la systématique présente doit au passé, mais aussi comment elle doit désormais se couper d’une partie de son passé."--
