Divergence with Genetic Exchange

Beschreibung

This book is an investigation into processes associated with evolutionary divergence and diversification, focussing on the role played by the exchange of genes between divergent lineages.

Autor

Mike Arnold, Distinguished Research Professor of Genetics at the University of Georgia, has concentrated his research work in the area of evolutionary genetics, particularly the study of genetic exchange. Mike has championed the view of such exchange as a critical evolutionary process. For example, through breeding experiments and genomic analyses, Mike's research group has demonstrated that natural hybridization often leads to significant gene exchange between closely related species. Mike is particularly well known for studies involving the plants known as Louisiana Irises, which have become a classic example of the role of hybridization in adaptive evolution and speciation. Mike is the author of four books and more than 130 academic articles.
