The Phylogenetic Handbook: A Practical Approach to DNA and Protein Phylogeny

'... a good buy ...'. Plant Systematics & Evolution

'Given the problems associated with traditional phylogenetic approaches in bacteria and many fungi, the book is a timely one, and a wide range of scientists will find much aid within. The book starts with an extremely well-written and rather welcome introduction to the basic concepts of molecular evolution ... The text avoids getting bogged down in the minutiae of these approaches, a good indication of the concise and clear writing that the authors employ throughout. The impression is of an extremely well-edited guide. ... this is a very useful introduction to the subject of phylogenetics, with chapters written by acknowledged experts in the field, and a well-thought out concept of practical sections for familiarisation with the main phylogenetic software packages. ... We are sure that our copy will become increasingly well-thumbed as a reference source.' Bibliography of Systematic Mycology
