This book focuses on applying the hugely popular R software specifically to the field, offering an accessible, step-by-step guide to tackling the challenges of achieving effective data interpretation and summary. The authors adopt an engaging \"learning by doing\" approach that will enable readers to develop an intuitive understanding of key population genetics concepts through the use of R. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with the groundwork of installing and using R (including CRAN and the RStudio IDE), the book works through the use of basic commands for data manipulation. An introduction to basic terminology in population genetics follows, clearly explaining how these fundamental assumptions can provide insights and form basic inferences for real populations. The focus then moves onto statistical tests including writing and running algorithms as functions. Subsequent chapters examine genetic variation, adaptation, and natural selection as well as different approaches to population differences. Importantly, the accompanying set of practical exercises demonstrate that implementing all of these concepts via programming can actually help greatly in understanding them, even if they may at first seem insurmountably complex. Finally, this accessible textbook points the way forwards to other key concepts that are important to understanding modern day population genetics research (in particular\u003cbr\u003ecoalescent theory) and offers the reader useful launching points for further learning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003ePopulation Genetics with R\u003c\/em\u003e is aimed at students ranging from undergraduate to postgraduate level in the fields of population genetics, ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, computational biology, and biostatistics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eÁki Jarl Láruson, \u003cem\u003ePostdoctoral Researcher, Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University, USA\u003c\/em\u003e, Floyd Allan Reed, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor, Department of Biology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÁki Jarl Láruson\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Postdoctoral Associate at Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University, USA.
