Other: Alternative to Futuyma Textbook Recommendation
From the Evolution Directory (EvolDir) via Twitter.
Hi, everyone:
I have been using Futuyma to teach my Evolutionary Biology course thus
far. Personally, I like the breadth of topics in Futuyma but I have
found that it is a little too advanced for my students and I skip 1/3
or more of the sections for that reason. All of the other books I've
looked at - example: Kardong's "Introduction to Biological Evolution"
is too basic for what I would like to do. Ideally, I'd like to find
something intermediate between Futuyma and one of these ultra-basic
texts - with a somewhat smaller price tag as well.
Once I have some feedback I'll send a summary of what I learn back to
the list. Thanks in advance for any recommendations that get passed
along. You can email me directly at:
