Descriptions

Genetic diversity is a crucial topic of research today, and our understanding of it and its role is increasing rapidly. This new volume collects contributions from experts around the world to offer a detailed examination of the state of the field today. In part one, genetic diversity in microorganisms is considered. Contributors examine topics including patterns of microbial genetic diversity, the correlation between bacterial demographic history and geohistory, and genetically related listeria monocytogenes in humans and animals. Part two considers genetic diversity in plants. Here, the contributors offer new findings on genetic diversity in Aechmea fulgens, the use of gamete selection for sampling the genetic diversity of tall fescue, and the genetic structure and diversity of Brazilian tree species. Finally, in part three, the analysis of genetic variation in animals is in focus. Here, the reader will find new insights into topics including landscape genomics in livestock, interspecific and intraspecific genetic diversity of Thunnus species, and molecular markers and genetic diversity in neotropical felids. This wide-ranging collection offers new knowledge of crucial aspects of the field, and will inspire readers in their own studies.
