"This book brings together for the first time the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of polyploid genome evolution with syntheses of the patterns and processes of genome evolution in diverse polyploid groups. Because polyploidy is most common and best studied in plants, the book emphasizes plant models, but recent studies of vertebrates and fungi are providing fresh perspectives on factors that allow polyploid speciation and shape polyploid genomes. The emerging paradigm is that polyploidy, through alterations in genome structure and gene regulation, generates genetic and phenotypic novelty that manifests itself at the chromosomal, physiological, and organismal levels, with long-term ecological and evolutionary consequences."

ABSTRACTThe first volume in the new Cambridge Handbooks in Behavioral Genetics, Behavioral Genetics of the Mouse provides baseline information on normal behaviors, essential in both the design of experiments using genetically-modified or pharmacologically-treated animals, and in the interpretation and analyses of the results obtained. Offering a comprehensive overview of the genetics of naturally-occurring variation in mouse behavior; from perception and spontaneous behaviors, such as exploration, aggression, social interactions and motor behaviors to reinforced behaviors such as the different types of learning. Also included are numerous examples of potential experimental problems, which will aid and guide researchers trying to troubleshoot their own studies. A lasting reference, the thorough and comprehensive reviews offer an easy entrance into the extensive literature in this field, and will prove invaluable to students and specialists alike"
