PhDP Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Rice, S.H. 2004. Evolutionary Theory. A short book ideal for someone interested in the fundamental principles of the theory evolution and the basic mathematical structure of the theory. The first chapters cover population genetics; selection, mutations, drift, and how to combine these mechanisms with diffusion theory. The other half of the book covers the evolution of the phenotype; quantitative genetics, game theory, multilevel selection, evo-devo. The maths required; not much, basic calculus, some linear algebra.
