Book Description
The history of Taxonomy coincidences with origin of human language - it is a language of communication. The science of naming and classifying organism is the original bioinformatics and a fundamental basis for biology. Imagine when all organism did not have poper names, it would have resulted in total chaos and anarchy. This book covers everything students and practitioners need to know about the origins and use of animal taxonomy and biodiversity.

Book Description
Portrays the scientific quest regarding nomenclature, identification, interrelationship of different groups of animals along with different aspects of taxonomy from Linnaeus to present day Aspects related with biodiversity, information retrieval, collection and preservation of animals along with recent trends in animal taxonomy and biosystematics which culminates the description of one of the most interesting phenomenon of zoology. Each chapter contains logically organized, easy to understand contents that provides the reader important aspects of animal taxonomy. It is a complete manual for all biologists especially for those interested in understanding the basic concepts of taxonomy and conservation and management of biodiversity. This book will be invaluagle for undergraduate and postgraduate students of zoology as well as for those aspiring for competitive examination.

Phylogenetics
Author: E. O. Wiley
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470905964
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
The long-awaited revision of the industry standard on phylogenetics Since the publication of the first edition of this landmark volume more than twenty-five years ago, phylogenetic systematics has taken its place as the dominant paradigm of systematic biology. It has profoundly influenced the way scientists study evolution, and has seen many theoretical and technical advances as the field has continued to grow. It goes almost without saying that the next twenty-five years of phylogenetic research will prove as fascinating as the first, with many exciting developments yet to come. This new edition of Phylogenetics captures the very essence of this rapidly evolving discipline. Written for the practicing systematist and phylogeneticist, it addresses both the philosophical and technical issues of the field, as well as surveys general practices in taxonomy. Major sections of the book deal with the nature of species and higher taxa, homology and characters, trees and tree graphs, and biogeography—the purpose being to develop biologically relevant species, character, tree, and biogeographic concepts that can be applied fruitfully to phylogenetics. The book then turns its focus to phylogenetic trees, including an in-depth guide to tree-building algorithms. Additional coverage includes: Parsimony and parsimony analysis Parametric phylogenetics including maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches Phylogenetic classification Critiques of evolutionary taxonomy, phenetics, and transformed cladistics Specimen selection, field collecting, and curating Systematic publication and the rules of nomenclature Providing a thorough synthesis of the field, this important update to Phylogenetics is essential for students and researchers in the areas of evolutionary biology, molecular evolution, genetics and evolutionary genetics, paleontology, physical anthropology, and zoology.
