Reviews

It is great value for graduate students and researchers in phylogeny, and it offers a wide field for applied mathematicians. EMS Newsletter

`In-depth discussions make Mathematics of Evolution and Phylogeny a key reference for those with mathematical or computational perspectives on evolution.' Systematic Biology 2006 `This book gives us an interesting glimpse of how work on phylogenies will be preceived by mathematicians, computer scientists, and statisticians.' Evolution, 60(4) 00.02.2006 `...an important contribution because it highlights the analysis of evolutionary problems as potential research avenues in applied mathematics.' Systematic Biology, Vol 55 `Mathematics of evolution and Phylogeny is a valuable research tool for postgraduate students and researchers wanting an in-depth, overall introduction of the topics that i covers.' Charles Semple, TRENDS in Ecology and Evolution, Vol 20 No 9
