Douglas J. Futuyma is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. After earning his B.S. from Cornell University, he undertook graduate studies at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, there completing both his M.S. and Ph.D. (with Lawrence B. Slobodkin) in Zoology. Dr. Futuyma is the author of two previous editions of Evolution, as well as three editions of its predecessor, Evolutionary Biology. In addition, he has authored or edited several other books. These include: Coevolution (Sinauer Associates, 1983, edited with M. Slatkin); Science on Trial: The Case for Evolution (Pantheon, 1982; Sinauer Associates, 1995); and Oxford Surveys in Evolutionary Biology, Volumes 7-9 (Oxford University Press, 1990, 1992, 1993, edited with J. Antonovics). Dr. Futuyma received the 1997 Sewall Wright Award of the American Society of Naturalists and the 2012 Joseph Leidy Award of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (Philadelphia).. He has served as President of the Society for the Study of Evolution (1987), the American Society of Naturalists (1994), and the American Institute of Biological Sciences (2007), and was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1996 and the National Academy of Sciences in 2006. Dr. Futuyma has served as Editor of Evolution and is currently Editor of the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics. His major research interests include evolution of host specificity in herbivorous insects and of interactions among insects and plants, speciation, and evolution of community structure.
Evolution, Third Edition is a comprehensive treatment of contemporary evolutionary biology that is directed toward an undergraduate audience. It addresses major themes—including the history of evolution, evolutionary processes, adaptation, and evolution as an explanatory framework—at levels of biological organization ranging from genomes to ecological communities. Throughout, the text emphasizes the interplay between theory and empirical tests of hypotheses, thus acquainting students with the process of science. Teachers and students will find the list of important concepts and terms in each chapter a helpful guide, and will appreciate the dynamic figures and lively photographs. The content of all chapters has been updated.
NEW IN THIS EDITION:
- Greatly revised treatment of methods of phylogenetic analysis
- Up-to-date coverage of human evolution, based on the fossil record and genomic variation
- Reorganized treatment of the history of changes in biological diversity, integrating information from paleontology and phylogenetics
- Coverage of important new developments in sexual selection and the evolutionary advantage of sex
- Updated and expanded coverage of reinforcement in speciation, and of speciation with gene flow
- Extensive updating of very recent advances in evolutionary genomics
- Roughly 25% of the figures are new
- The bibliography includes 460 new citations (of approximately 1,700)
