Evolutionary Biology celebrates its Quarter-Century Anniversary! 'Evolutionary Biology occupies a unique and valuable place in the evolutionary literature...The editors are to be congratulated on their continuing ability to attract interesting articles.' --- The Journal of Evolutionary Biology

Please visit www.springer.com/11692 for further information.In Volume 29, internationally acclaimed researchers address a broad range of topics including the organization of eukaryotic genes, evolution of Drosophila mating systems, and evolutionary-developmental approaches to fin/limb transformation.

These boundaries shift as new methods are developed and as new concepts are elaborated (e.g., the theory of the gene, or more recently, the coalescence framework in population genetics). This book examines and analyzes these new limits as they are applied to evolutionary biology and population genetics.
