Molecular Techniques in Taxonomy
Hewitt, Godfrey M. / Young, J. Peter W. / Johnston, Andrew W. B.
Taxonomy is fundamental to understanding the variety of life
forms, and exciting expansions in molecular biology are re-
volutionising the obtained data. This volume reviews the ma-
jor molecular biological techniques that are applied in ta-
xonomy. The chapters are arranged in three main sections:1)
Overviews of important topics in molecular taxonomy, 2) Case
studies of the successful application of molecular methods
to taxonomic and e...
