Journal ArticleDOI
Distortion of allele frequency distributions provides a test for recent population bottlenecks
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that population bottlenecks cause a characteristic mode-shift distortion in the distribution of allele frequencies at selectively neutral loci, and a qualitative graphical method is illustrated and evaluated for detecting a bottleneck-induced distortion of allele frequency distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical Evaluation of a Test for Identifying Recently Bottlenecked Populations from Allele Frequency Data
TL;DR: A statistical test (a sign test for heterozygosity excess) for detecting recent historical bottlenecks using allele frequency data (Cornuet & Luikart 1996) is developed and evaluated by analyzing 56 allozyme and 37 microsatellite data sets from bottlenecked and nonbottlenecked natural populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleotide substitution rate of mammalian mitochondrial genomes.
TL;DR: This study examines the evolutionary pattern of the different functional mtDNA regions as accurately as possible on the grounds of available data, revealing some important ``genomic laws.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baleen Whales: Conservation Issues and The Status Of The Most Endangered Populations
TL;DR: Current data suggest that, of the various threats potentially affecting baleen whales, only entanglement in fishing gear and ship strikes may be significant at the population level, and then only in those populations which are already at critically low abundance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and biodiversity of Antarctic organisms: a molecular perspective
TL;DR: Genetic studies have revealed that species defined by morphological characters are complexes of cryptic or sibling species, which is consistent with the diversity and distribution of marine and terrestrial taxa having been strongly influenced by geological and climatic cooling events over the last 70 years.
