Hundreds of SNPs vs. dozens of SSRs: which dataset better characterizes natural clonal lineages in a self-fertilizing fish?
TL;DR: Although the RAD data were powerful in distinguishing the clonal lineages identified by SSR analyses, they also carried considerable phylogenetic noise, suggesting that RAD-seq methods should be used with caution for inferring fine population structure, and that stringent quality controls are necessary to reduce false phylogenetic signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple mating and its relationship to alternative modes of gestation in male-pregnant versus female-pregnant fish species.
John C. Avise,Jin-Xian Liu +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, this work tries to fit the fecundity-limitation phenomena into a broader conceptual framework for mating-system evolution that also includes anisogamy, sexual-selection gradients, parental investment, and other selective factors that can influence the relative proclivities of males versus females to seek multiple sexual partners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation research and the legal status of PCR products.
Brian W. Bowen,John C. Avise +1 more
TL;DR: Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Science serves its readers as a forum for the presentation and discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science, including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view, by publishing only material on which a consensus has been reached.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allelic expression and genetic distance in hybrid macaque monkeys.
John C. Avise,Susan W. Duvall +1 more
TL;DR: Levels of structural genic divergence at 21 loci encoding blood proteins were quantified in six macaque (Macaca) species, using standard techniques of starch-gel electrophoresis, providing no strong evidence of a breakdown in the regulatory mechanisms responsible for proper expression of these genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspective: the evolutionary biology of aging, sexual reproduction, and dna repair.
TL;DR: Embellishments to theories on aging and sex are presented that consider two relevant topics neglected or underemphasized in the previous treatments, including discussion of cytoplasmic genomes and varying degrees of cellular and molecular autonomy which distinguish unicellular from multicellular organisms.
