Reviews
--CHOICE
"Provides insight into general mechanisms of evolutionary change across all taxonomic levels."
--1998 RECENT ORNITHOLOGICAL PUBLICATIONS
"This edited volume contains enough to keep ornithologists up far into the night, up-to-date, informative and often provocative ideas
about molecular bird phylogenetics. David Mindell has done an admirable job of gathering together those, old and you, who have something
interesting to say about avian molecular evolution and systematics. This volume signals a new, more collaborative approach to the subject."
--AMERICAN ZOOLOGIST
"This new book on avian molecular systematics represents a cross section of topics, although it focuses on mitochondrial DNA sequences.
It is not a textbook, but a collection of 13 papers that touch on many of the methodological issues of interest to molecular systematists.
...a well-edited volume that will be of interest to many ornithologists and molecular systematists."
--SYSTEMATIC BIOLOGY
"...the timing was right for a volume giving an overview of avian molecular systematics. Mindell has brought together authors working
on taxa, concepts, and methods who represent a cross section of the field. The chapters are well written, address important issues, and
provide an interesting set of case studies on avian phylogeny. Mindell's volume will provide a good benchmark for assessing future progress
in the field. The overview of the field provided by Avian Molecular Evolution and Systematics makes it useful both for
graduate students looking for an introduction to the discipline, and for established avain systematists wanting a broad review or a single
reference source. It would make a good choice for a graduate reading course, especially for programs with a strong bird orientation.
The book also serves as a summary of bird molecular phylogeny for systematists working on other taxa, or for other ornithologists. Mindell's
volume should help provide a strong footing for the next decade of avian molecular systematists."
