Description

Quantitative genetics is the study of continuously varying traits which make up the majority of biological attributes of evolutionary and commercial interest.

This book provides a much-needed up-to-date, in-depth yet accessible text for the field.

In lucid language, the author guides readers through the main concepts of population and quantitative genetics and their applications.

It is written to be approachable to even those without a strong mathematical background, including applied examples, a glossary of key terms, and problems and solutions to support students in grasping important theoretical developments and their relevance to real-world biology.

An engaging, must-have textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Given its applied focus, it also equips researchers in genetics, genomics, evolutionary biology, animal and plant breeding, and conservation genetics with the understanding and tools for genetic improvement, comprehension of the genetic basis of human diseases, and conservation of biological resources.
