Probes central theoretical questions about physiological rhythms. Topics discussed include: how are rhythms generated How do they start and stop What are the effects of perturbation of the rhythms How are oscillations organized in space This book is useful for biological scientists, physicians, physical scientists, and mathematicians.

Explores the origins and development of geographic variation, divergence, and speciation. This work shows how geographic differentiation and speciation may develop in spite of continuous gene flow. It discusses the relationships among gene flow, dispersal, and migration.

(Paperback)

Examines the processes that determine geographic patterns of genetic variation, providing a comprehensive guide to their study and interpretation. This book focuses on the mathematical relationships of spatial statistical measures of patterns to stochastic processes.

Virtually all of the food we eat comes from plants, either directly from such staples as grains, fruits and vegetables, or indirectly through livestock that rely on plants for fodder. In addition, introductory chapters discuss the study of plants, characteristics of plant biology literature, and the history of the field and the people in it.

(Paperback)

Helps biologists understand state-of-the-art statistical methods for analyzing capture-recapture data. This book introduces the methods for data analysis while explaining the theory behind those methods. It is useful for biologists, biometricians, and statisticians, students in both fields, and anyone else engaged in the capture-recapture process.
