New Uses for New Phylogenies

By Leigh Brown Harvey

Now that scientists can sequence genes with relative ease, the relationships among living organisms are becoming better known. These relationships are summarized as phylogenetic trees. This book reveals how these trees can be used to give insights into diverse fields of biological enquiry including ecology, epidemiology, development, conservation, and the evolutionary process itself.
