Ecological genetics

E. B. Ford
This book describes the experimental study of evolution and adaptation, carried out by means of combined field-work and laboratory genetics. In discussing what has been achieved by these means many relevant pieces of work familiar to me have been omitted, while doubtless there are others that have escaped my attention.
