Ecology has made great strides during the past few decades. Emerging out of the shadows of a descriptive science, ecology has grown into an interdisciplinary synthetic science with great importance to the resolution of anthropogenic environmental problems. This book incorporates a multitude of recent examples from microbiology, plant science, and zoology, drawing together a scattered literature in the first synthesis of the new and exciting field of ecological genomics. This book is meant for students, teachers and researchers in field of agriculture, genetic, molecular biology, ecology, environment and physics and will prove all to one and all concerned.
