- High quality contributions from renowned scientists
- Covers the latest in evolution and phylogenetics
- Much needed introductory material on phylogenetics aimed at biologists, computer scientists and mathematicians
This book considers evolution at different scales: sequences, genes, gene families, organelles, genomes and species. 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. Recent years have witnessed rapid progress in the mathematics of evolution and phylogeny, with models and methods becoming more realistic, powerful, and complex.
Aimed at graduates and researchers in phylogenetics, mathematicians, computer scientists and biologists, and including chapters by
leading scientists: A. Bergeron, D. Bertrand, D. Bryant, R. Desper, O. Elemento, N. El-Mabrouk, N. Galtier, O. Gascuel, M. Hendy, S. Holmes, K. Huber, A. Meade, J. Mixtacki, B. Moret, E. Mossel, V. Moulton, M. Pagel, M.-A. Poursat, D. Sankoff, M. Steel, J. Stoye, J. Tang, L.-S. Wang, T. Warnow, Z. Yang, this book of contributed chapters explains the basis and covers the recent results in this highly topical area.Readership: Aimed at graduates and researchers in phylogenetics, this book will be of interest to both mathematicians and biologists.

"It is great value for graduate students and researchers in phylogeny, and it offers a wide field for applied mathematicians." - EMS Newsletter in phylogeny, and it offers a wide field for applied mathematicians. "This book gives us an interesting glimpse of how work on phylogenies will be preceived by mathematicians, computer scientists, and statisticians." - Evolution, 60(4) "...an important contribution because it highlights the analysis of evolutionary problems as potential research avenues in applied mathematics." - Systematic Biology, Vol 55 "Mathematics of Evolution and Phylogeny is a valuable research tool for postgraduate students and researchers wanting an in-depth,
overall introduction of the topics that it covers." - Charles Semple, Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Vol 20 No 9 "...the volume is an important contribution because it highlights the analysis of evolutionary problems as potential research avenues in applied mathematics." - Systematic Biology "Aimed at mathematicians, computer scientists, and statisticians, the book should serve them well as an introduction to phylogenies." - Evolution, Joe Felsenstein
