Volume 30 on Evolutionary Biology brings readers research on the investigation of eminent evolutionary biologists and paleobiologists. Contributions explore such topics as: adaptation in Drosophila and the role of cytochrome P450s; population genetics and species conservation of the cheetah; germ-layer theory; assymetry in the mammalian skeleton; genetic diversity of marine fish; the phenomenon of industrial melanism, and the variation in lizard cranal kinesis. Other chapters focus on such issues as overdominance and its relation to higher mutation and the rate estimates and use of molecular clocks in determining the rate of nucleotide substitution in higher plants.
