Another New Biology
Sokal, Robert R.
Bioscience, 20, 3, 152-159, 70 Feb
Describes scope, methods, and history of evolutionary biology. Illustrates the application of new mathematical treatments to problems of speciation, homology and ecology. Urges biologists to become familiar with these methods and to adopt a mathematical approach in teaching, arguing that much ecology taught today is irrelevant to theories now being built. Discusses implications for research and field work. (EB)
