Selection : the mechanism of evolution

Selection : the mechanism of evolution / Graham Bell.

This text adopts a direct experimental approach to evolutionary questions, drawing predominantly from research on microbial systems. The focus is on processes and mechanisms, and incorporates insights from recent advances in whole-genome sequencing, bioinformatics, environmental genomics and develop...
