Description for Analysis of Evolutionary Processes
Hardback. Shows how Adaptive Dynamics (AD) canonical equation can answer questions of interest in biology, engineering, and the social sciences, especially economics. This book looks at important features of evolutionary dynamics as viewed through the lens of AD. Series: Princeton Series in Theoretical and Computational Biology. Num Pages: 360 pages, 6 halftones. 102 line illus. 10 tables. BIC Classification: PSAJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 240 x 160 x 29. Weight in Grams: 624.
Quantitative approaches to evolutionary biology traditionally consider evolutionary change in isolation from an important pressure in natural selection: the demography of coevolving populations. In Analysis of Evolutionary Processes, Fabio Dercole and Sergio Rinaldi have written the first comprehensive book on Adaptive Dynamics (AD), a quantitative modeling approach that explicitly links evolutionary changes to demographic ones. The book shows how the so-called AD canonical equation can answer questions of paramount interest in biology, engineering, and the social sciences, especially economics. After introducing the basics of evolutionary processes and classifying available modeling approaches, Dercole and Rinaldi give a detailed presentation of the ... Read more

Reviews for Analysis of Evolutionary Processes
"Any scientist interested in evolutionary theory should become familiar with the techniques presented here, and there is currently no better source."
