"This book provides a conceptually broad overview of the major themes in this rapidly emerging field of study. . . . [It is] a useful reference for ecologists and evolutionary biologists at diverse career stages."---Eric P. Palkovacs, Ecology "An excellent overview."---Fanie Pelletier, Nature Ecology & Evolution "[A] thought-provoking book."---Anna Kuparinen, Trends in Ecology and Evolution "This is an outstanding research textbook, which should also be useful in teaching the highest level undergraduate courses. . . . An excellent, and timely, synthesis of the growing body of work on interactions between ecology and evolution."---Andrew MacColl, Quarterly Review of Biology
