The articles are up-to-date and fully illustrated with in-text references that allow readers to easily access primary literature. While all entries are authoritative and valuable to those with advanced understanding of evolutionary biology, they are also intended to be accessible to both advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
Broad topics include the history of evolutionary biology, population genetics, quantitative genetics; speciation, life history evolution, evolution of sex and mating systems, evolutionary biogeography, evolutionary developmental biology, molecular and genome evolution, coevolution, phylogenetic methods, microbial evolution, diversification of plants and fungi, diversification of animals, and applied evolution.
- Presents fully comprehensive content, allowing easy access to fundamental information and links to primary research
- Contains concise articles by leading experts in the field that ensures current coverage of each topic
- Provides ancillary learning tools like tables, illustrations, and multimedia features to assist with the comprehension process

Dr. Richard Kliman did his graduate work at Wesleyan University on quantitative genetics and photoperiodism, followed by postdoctoral work in molecular evolution and population genetics at Rutgers University and Harvard University. He is currently Professor of Biological Sciences at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA, where he teaches courses in genetics, evolution, ecology, and statistics.Dr. Kliman's research interests center on questions in molecular evolution, including the evolution of codon usage bias in a variety of organisms; speciation and natural history; and ecology and conservation. Much of this work has relied on population genetics/genomics and bioinformatics approaches. He has served on multiple editorial boards and as a program director at the U.S. National Foundation, and is an active proponent of evolution education.
